Ooh it's been so long since I've visited Typepad. I have seriously neglected this blog ever since I started my Posterous page. This Quick Compose looks kind of interesting though...
Here's to a new look & feel....
I loved this video when it was first shared, but here on his "In less than 6 minutes" TED Talk, Derek Sivers draws out a few guiding principles for how movements are started. It's so short you might as well watch it, but I wanted to capture the two final conclusions anyway:
1. If you are a leader, nurture your first few followers as equals, it's about the movement - not about you.
2. Leadership is overglorified. It's really the first follower who transforms the lone nut into a leader, so if you're really trying to start a movement have the courage to follow and show others how to follow.
