The First Follower and Phones as Robbers

“We’re told we all need to be leaders.  The best way to make a movement, if you really care, is to courageously follow and show others how to follow”- Derek Sivers, Leadership Lessons from a Dancing Guy. 

Below is a three-minute clip that applies to many facets of life. I find it fascinating. 

Here are my big takeaways: 
1. Leadership can be over-glorified.
2. Make things about the movement, not about yourself.  
3. Be public and easy to follow.  
4. The 1st follower is the key: They turn the “lone nut into a leader.”

Quote of the Week

“I find myself worrying most that when we hand our children phones we steal their boredom from them. As a result, we are raising a generation of writers who will never start writing, artists who will never start doodling, chefs who will never make a mess of the kitchen, athletes who will never kick a ball against a wall, musicians who will never pick up their aunt’s guitar and start strumming.”Glennon Doyle, Untamed
