[Thanks to A.B. for sharing this!]
Original text is on http://sivers.org/ff. If I ever create a life lessons blog or website or whatever, I would feature this video and its message. There are a few key elements to leadership: having the guts to be the crazy firestarter, actually having a follower, and then treating the follower as an equal. No follower, no leader.
But the follower is actually a leader himself. We often hear something like, "Only crazier people follow crazy ones." Because it also takes guts (and a little skill in acknowledgment of genius in something that society has branded crazy) to be that 1st follower. So when the 2nd follower shows up, that's when things have come full circle. As the video narrates, having that 2nd follower validates the 1st follower's decision to acknowledge that the originator's crazy idea as actually something worth following.
Well. Here's to the crazy ones.
