How to Start a Movement

February 11, 2010 in Leadership with 7 Comments

What’s even more impressive is it only took Derek Sivers less than three minutes to make his point. This is his entire talk from the TED Conference.

    I’ll grant he has at least one good point in there, but overall that’s a pretty good example of why I quit wasting time on TED… too much underwhelming junk to find anything good. -jw

    I think everyone wishes they could make their point so well in 3 minutes. Liked it a lot.

    That’s Derek Sivers, not David Sivers :)

    Two great walk away points: First, the lone dancer identified his audience and potential followers. He surrounded himself with like minded or goal oriented people, so he stood up among them. Had he done this a crowd of suits, it would have been the lone dancer that was just drunk possibly. Second, the first follower may not have been his most dedicated follower. He got the momentum started, but you see him exit out the picture to the lower part near the end. He may have rejoined the party. Your first follower may not be in it for the long haul. However, you allow him to be used according to his gifts.

    Was this video scripted or was it something that just happened?
