"A movement must be public. Make sure outsiders see more than just the leader. Everyone needs to see the followers, because new followers emulate followers - not the leader...If you are a version of the shirtless dancing guy, all alone, remember the importance of nurturing your first few followers as equals, making everything clearly about the movement, not you....Leadership is over-glorified....It was the first follower that transformed a lone nut into a leader."
"There is no movement without the first follower...
We're told we all need to be leaders, but that would be really ineffective...
The best way to make a movement, if you really care, is to courageously follow and show others how to follow...
When you find a lone nut doing something great, have the guts to be the first person to stand up and join in."
