A leader without followers is like a car without an engine. This music festival video gives us a real-life example of how a dancing “nut” transformed into the leader of a movement. But it had no chance to become a movement until he gained his first follower.
Leadership Lessons Learned
To recap and enhance the video:
Nurture your first few followers as equals
Be public and easy to follow
Leadership is over-glorified
Follower-ship is under appreciated
It was the first follower who transformed a lone nut into a leader. Without that first follower, there would be no movement.
The best way to make a movement is to courageously follow as an example for others
Leadership can not be an exclusive club
Lead, Follow or Get Out of the Way
