15 Dancing Leader

16 What? It was the 1 st follower that transformed the lone nut job into a leader. There is NO movement without the first follower. If everyone was the leader, 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.

17 First Followers Being the first (or even just an early) follower is an under-appreciated form of leadership. New followers emulate other followers, not the leader.

18 Change isn’t easy Be willing and prepared to stand out Be confident in your ability, but humbled by your support and followers
