I’m not sure I buy the premise here. I agree that tribal dynamics exist, but I don’t think these all necessarily lead to negative group dynamics. I’ve certainly been in toxic environments where these do exist, but City Year had tribal dynamics that were mostly healthy and led to the correct incentives where the people doing the most good had the highest status, and the way to gain higher status was to do more good. I think the EA hotel (as I detailed in the above post) has generally trended towards a healthy culture.
Tribal dynamic is evolutionary built to increase the productivity of the group, and the group as whole may act great, despite, say, bulling of just a few members. My personality traits increase my chance to be in such situation more often, and I am sharing my experience with groups.
I haven’t really seen any bullying behavior in the way you’re talking about at my time here, and I don’t see any indication that it will evolve in that way, if that helps.
