My reason for creating this blog is to encourage intellectual conversation and thinking through the exchange of ideas and knowledge stemming from the insight and experiences of other people. I also envision this blog to connect people to each other that promotes new friendships, partnerships, and networkships that are long lasting and beneficial to the improvement of society. So lets get to talking!
Very interesting clip. The "first follower" and the "leader" having nearly equal roles in starting a movement is something I hadn't thought of before now. But it is so true. The same courage and conviction it takes to start a movement is the same courage and conviction it takes to believe in that movement enough to fall in line...even when no one else is looking ("first follower").
Yep, people wait til it gets comfortable. That is what separates the wealthy from others, sometimes. By the time they get comfortable, its already saturated. I watched that clip several time when I first saw it.
Umm had to watch it 3 times because I laughed through the first 2. "Without the first follower, the leader is a lone nut." totally agree with that statement. It's highly likely I'll be repeating the leader, 1st follower, & 2nd follower dances the next time I go out to a party b/c they were awesome!
I also liked that he said that the first follower shows the others how to fall in line...nice.
