if you've learned a lot about leadership and making a movement then let's watch a movement happen start to finish in under 3 minutes and dissect some lessons first of course a leader needs the guts to stand alone and look ridiculous but what he's doing is so simple it's almost instructional this is key you must be easy to follow now here comes the first follower with a crucial role he publicly shows everyone else how to follow notice how the leader embrace him as an equal so it's not about the leader anymore it's about them plural notice
how he's calling to his friends to join in so he takes guts to be a first follower you stand out and you Brave ridicule yourself being a first follower is an underappreciated form of leadership the first follower transforms a lone nut into a leader if the leader is the Flint the first follower is the spark that really makes the fire now here's the second follower this is a turning point it's proof the has done well now it's not a lone nut and it's not two nuts three is a crowd and a crowd is news a
movement must be public make sure Outsiders see more than just the leader everyone needs to see the followers because new followers emulate followers not the leader now here come two more people then three more immediately now we've got momentum this is the Tipping Point and now we have a movement as more people jump in it's no longer risky if they were on the fence before there's no reason not to join in now they won't stand out they won't be ridiculed and they will be part of the In Crowd if they hurry and over the next
minute you'll see the rest who prefer to stay part of the crowd because eventually they'd be ridiculed for not joining and ladies and gentlemen that is how a movement is made so let's recap what we've learned if you are a version of the shirtless dancing guy all alone remember the importance of nurturing your first few f followers as equals making everything clearly about the movement not you be public be easy to follow but the biggest lesson here did you catch it leadership is over glorified yes it started with the shirtless guy and he'll get all
the credit but you saw what really happened it was the first follower that transformed a lone nut into a leader there's no movement without the first follower see we're told that we all need to be leaders but that would be really ineffective the best way to make a movement if you really care is to courageously follow and show others how to follow when you find a lone nut doing something great have the guts to be the first person to stand up and join in how did he do that how did he
