That’s no shirt-less dancing guy, THATS our leader

February 26th, 2010 Leave a comment Go to comments

I think this is the BEST lesson on leadership, forming a movement, and doing something BRILLIANT I have EVER SEEN.

First, the way the guy keeps dancing.

Second, the way the 2nd guy hangs in there when it started to get awkward (for me at least).

Third, after the third guy jumped in, it didnt take long to reach the “tipping point”.

Fourth (and certainly not the last lesson I’m sure), the brilliance of Derek Sivers (of CD Baby) for showing us all the lessons.

Here’s the lesson I can add.

DON’T GIVE UP!

If you are doing something that you believe in, do it with everything you have.  It doesn’t matter if you look silly.

When you get someone who agrees with you, treat them as your equal.  They can help.

If you see someone else doing something YOU believe in, HELP THEM!

What lessons did you get from this?

    Watching this video gives me chills. In a way this blog post ties in with the “Still waiting for your hero?” post… If, by researching, hard work and dedication, you default to the roll of a leader, it’s most likely you were inspired to do so because of someone in your life like the shirtless dancing guy… I’m excited to see how this blog raises the self awareness of ones raw potential.

      I guess they are related Kimberly. I have to say, honestly, I got a little emotional when I saw this. I couldn’t WAIT to show you guys.

      Thanks for your insight.

    I have seen this type of thing happen and when you are blessed enough to be a part of something like this you never forget it.
    This is perhaps your most profound statemenet to date: “If you see someone else doing something YOU believe in, HELP THEM!”

      Thank You Susan. I loved the idea in the video of the “first follower”. If you are not familiar with Derek Sivers, you should definitely check him out!

        Seth Godin’s blog has some really great stuff as well!

          I’m a big fan of both Derek Sivers and Seth Godin.
