These original projects marked the beginnings of the Independent Power Industry<ref>{{Cite book|title=Electricity Restructuring In the United States|last=Isser|first=Steve|publisher=Cambridge University Press|year=2015|pages=166–170}}</ref> and formed the model later followed by the Renewable Energy sector. Much of the commercial and financial structure of these industries is rooted in this formative work. Tribone has originated and executed many of these large, path-finding transactions in both the United States and in major emerging markets, such as Mexico, Brazil, India and China.
Overseas, he completed the first direct foreign investment in Brazil’s energy sector after the full restoration of democracy and the election of Fernando Henrique Cardoso as President in the 1990s.<ref>Southerland, Daniel. “AES Joins Bid for Control of Brazilian Utility,” The Washington Post, May 22, 1996.</ref> He led transactions to open foreign energy markets, such as the first private power plant in Mexico<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://ifcext.ifc.org/ifcext/pressroom/ifcpressroom.nsf/1f70cd9a07d692d685256ee1001cdd37/bccf4969f194c4028525697b006caa76?OpenDocument |title=IFC Home |access-date=2016-01-21 |archive-date=2016-01-31 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160131054715/http://ifcext.ifc.org/ifcext/pressroom/ifcpressroom.nsf/1f70cd9a07d692d685256ee1001cdd37/bccf4969f194c4028525697b006caa76?OpenDocument |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.thefreelibrary.com/AES+wins+bid+for+a+484+MW+gas-fired+plant+in+Mexico.-a019054344 |title=
In testimony before the [[U.S. Congress]], Tribone observed that technological and market forces were “shrinking” the scope of natural monopoly.<ref>{{Cite web | url=http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/CHRG-106hhrg58510/pdf/CHRG-106hhrg58510.pdf
Tribone was nominated as a finalist for the Standard and Poors Lifetime Achievement Award in 2016 and 2017. This award is granted by Standard and Poors as a Platts Global Energy Award and is often called the Emmy award for the energy industry.<ref>{{Cite press release|url=http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/finalists-from-25-countries-compete-for-2016-platts-global-energy-awards-300334372.html|title=Finalists from 25 Countries Compete for 2016 Platts Global Energy Awards|last=Platts|first=S&P Global|website=www.prnewswire.com|access-date=2016-10-03}}</ref> His Excellency [[Abdalla Salem El-Badri]], the longest-serving secretary general in the history of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), and [[Harold Hamm]], founder, chairman and CEO of Continental Resources ultimately won this award.<ref>{{Cite press release|url=http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/energy-companies-from-eight-countries-win-honors-at-platts-global-energy-awards-300375851.html|title=Energy Companies from Eight Countries Win Honors at Platts Global Energy Awards|last=Platts|first=S&P Global|website=www.prnewswire.com|access-date=2016-12-09}}</ref>

As an undergraduate,Tribone was exposed to the research of psychologist [[Frederick Herzberg]]<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://hbr.org/product/one-more-time-how-do-you-motivate-employees-hbr-bestseller/R0301F-PDF-ENG|title = One More Time: How do You Motivate Employees? ^ R0301F}}</ref> at [[Case Western Reserve University]], where Herzberg served as a professor. Partly based on these findings and his own experience, Tribone developed a unique, people-centered management style that has been written about by authors such as [[Robert H. Waterman Jr.]] (the co-author of one of the most influential business books ever written,'' In Search of Excellence'').<ref>Waterman, Robert and Peters, Tom. [http://www.harpercollins.com/books/Search-Excellence/?isbn=9780060548780 “In Search of Excellence”] HarperCollins Publishers, 1982</ref>
In his book, ''What America Does Right''<ref>Waterman, Robert H. [https://books.google.com/books?id=-pgI7lZoQeAC&q=what+america+does+right “What America Does Right”] 1994, Chapter 2.</ref> Waterman has written of Tribone: "But Tom Tribone is one of those people who resist the status quo. Tribone has the 'Colombo' factor, like Detective Colombo on the old television show, if something doesn’t make sense, Tribone asks why and keeps asking until he gets an answer that does make sense.” In this book, Tribone's ideas were summarized in the title of a chapter called "Everyone a Leader" in which Waterman described some of Tribone's management concepts. One example related how, while leading a unionized manufacturing plant early in his career, Tribone materially increased manufacturing capability and employee satisfaction through a new combination of specific guidance and light-handed supervision.
