    so ladies and gentlemen at Ted we talk a
  • 00:00:17
    lot about leadership and how to make a
  • 00:00:19
    movement so let's watch a movement
  • 00:00:22
    happen start to finish in under 3
  • 00:00:23
    minutes and dissect some lessons from it
  • 00:00:26
    first of course you know a leader needs
  • 00:00:28
    the guts to stand out and be
  • 00:00:32
    ridiculed but what he's doing is so easy
  • 00:00:34
    to follow so here's his first follower
  • 00:00:35
    with a crucial role he's going to show
  • 00:00:37
    everyone else how to follow now notice
  • 00:00:39
    that the leader Embraces him as an equal
  • 00:00:42
    so now it's not about the leader anymore
  • 00:00:44
    it's about them plural now there he is
  • 00:00:46
    calling to his friends now if you notice
  • 00:00:48
    that the first follower is actually an
  • 00:00:50
    underestimated form of leadership in
  • 00:00:52
    itself takes guts to stand out like that
  • 00:00:55
    the first follower is what transforms a
  • 00:00:58
    lone nut into a leader
  • 00:01:05
    and here comes a second follower now
  • 00:01:07
    it's not a lone nut it's not two nuts
  • 00:01:09
    three is a crowd and a crowd is news so
  • 00:01:12
    a movement must be public it's important
  • 00:01:15
    to show not just the leader but the
  • 00:01:17
    followers because you find that new
  • 00:01:19
    followers emulate the followers not the
  • 00:01:21
    leader now here come two more people and
  • 00:01:23
    immediately after three more people now
  • 00:01:26
    we've got momentum this is the Tipping
  • 00:01:28
    Point now we've got a movement
  • 00:01:32
    so notice that as more people join in
  • 00:01:34
    it's less risky so those that were
  • 00:01:36
    sitting on the fence before now have no
  • 00:01:38
    reason not to they won't stand out they
  • 00:01:41
    won't be ridiculed but they will be part
  • 00:01:43
    of the In Crowd if they hurry
  • 00:01:47
    so over the next minute you'll see all
  • 00:01:50
    of the uh those that prefer to stick
  • 00:01:52
    with the crowd because eventually they
  • 00:01:53
    would be ridiculed for not joining in
  • 00:01:56
    and that's how you make a movement but
  • 00:01:58
    let's recap some lessons from this so
  • 00:02:01
    first if you are the type like the
  • 00:02:03
    shirtless dancing guy that is standing
  • 00:02:05
    alone remember the importance of
  • 00:02:07
    nurturing your first few followers as
  • 00:02:09
    equals so it's clearly about the
  • 00:02:11
    movement not
  • 00:02:13
    you okay but we might have missed the
  • 00:02:16
    real lesson here the biggest lesson if
  • 00:02:17
    you noticed did you catch it is that
  • 00:02:20
    leadership is over
  • 00:02:22
    glorified that yes it was the shirtless
  • 00:02:24
    guy was first and he'll get all the
  • 00:02:25
    credit but it was really the first
  • 00:02:27
    follower that transformed the lone nut
  • 00:02:30
    into a leader so as we're told that we
  • 00:02:32
    should all be leaders that would be
  • 00:02:34
    really ineffective if you really care
  • 00:02:36
    about starting a movement have the
  • 00:02:38
    courage to follow and show others how to
  • 00:02:40
    follow and when you find a lone nut
  • 00:02:42
    doing something great have the guts to
  • 00:02:44
    be the first one to stand up and join in
  • 00:02:47
    and what a perfect place to do that Ted
  • 00:02:50
    thanks
  • 00:02:51
    [Applause]
