Leadership from a Dancing Guy

• Man looks stupid
• People are just ignoring him
• But then someone comes in and joins him and tries to imitate him
• Then stupidity turns into something fun
• When a second person joins, it becomes something fun
• Then, a group becomes a crowd
• Then, the people who don't join look dumb instead of following the group
• Movement doesn't come without the first follower

Notes with the Class:

• Being a leader is hard
• A leader needs the guts to stand alone and look dumb
• You must be easy to follow
• The leader embraces the first follower as an equal
• It takes guts to be the first follower
• Brave being outcast
• The first follower transforms the lone nut into a leader
• A movement must be public
• Momentum is the tipping point
• When you join a movement it's not risky; you won't stand out
• Leadership is over-glorified
• Show others how to follow
