Leadership is Overrated⁉️
We often hear a lot about leadership, maybe even glorify it — but maybe we’ve been missing the point.
In under 3 minutes during his TED Talk, Derek Sivers breaks down a viral movement that started with one shirtless guy dancing at a festival.
But it wasn’t the guy who started dancing that changed everything.
It was the first follower — the one who stood up, risked looking foolish, and showed others how to follow — that turned a lone nut into a leader.
💡 Key takeaways:
  • Leadership takes guts… but so does being first to follow.
  • Movements aren't about the leader — they’re about the early adopters.
  • New people don’t follow the leader — they follow followers.
  • When enough join, it becomes less risky. Then it’s momentum.
“If you really care about starting a movement, have the courage to follow and show others how to follow.”
🎥Watch the clip. Then drop your thoughts:
❓Is leadership overrated
❓Have you ever been the “first follower”
❓What movement are you building (or ready to join)
