How to Create a Movement

February 11, 2010

#1 Thing to Learn from this Post:
“The first follower transforms a lone nut into a leader” – Derek Sivers

A More Detailed Exploration:
A few months ago, this video of a shirtless dancing guy was passed along online. Yesterday, Derek Sivers used it at the TED conference to illustrate a lesson on leadership. Fortunately for us all, he posted a narrated version and transcript to his blog.

When I saw the original video, I had similar thoughts as Derek in regards to group dynamics.  But, he took his shirt off and started dancing first.  So, let me be a bold first follower and share it with you:

Are you the lone nut? The first follower? The second follower? Or the crowd?
