title: Successful negotiating among the tribes in your organization.
abstract: As the author of Tribal Warfare in Organizations, I have spent my career refereeing conflicts among the tribes in organizations. Health care has more tribal battles than most other work settings. Although some people swear that health care attracts a higher percentage of cantankerous personalities, this is not true. Complexity breeds tribal tensions, and health care is a very complex environment. There are more professions, more highly complex services, and fewer resources.
