Hoo! This video (below) is such a fun, genuine example of “tipping point”… AND a cautionary tale about attending concerts while jacked up on goofballs, especially in this era of camera phones and YouTube, but mostly, “tipping point.”
Oh, and how groupthink and peer pressure can influence one’s decision making process, obviously. And the nature of leadership.
Also, just say no to drugs. Because the shirtless dancing guy? He crazy high, yo?
Hmm. Maybe you should just take a little look-see and determine for yourself:
Honestly, it is clear to me that the lone nut’s “leadership” is somewhat wasted in this case. I mean, he’s not tripping all over himself to acquire a following or anything, right? No, he’s just doing his thang! Reveling–nay, baking!– in the fresh air and sunlight! But he is lit, I mean, he lit the way– blazed a trail, if you will– for the first follower, the linchpin to creative leadership. Where others saw a lone nut, the first follower recognized the dancing dude’s potential and knew how to tap it.
Hey. It’s MY blog! Deal with my punning.
Yes, the lone nut only inadvertently sparked a movement; it was the first follower who fanned that spark into a flame– fanned it higher and higher!– created the buzz, and convinced others to act, to follow. Inspiring a movement. Which, to me, makes the first follower the actual innovator and TRUE leader.
FINE! Done with the puns now.
Heh. This video should be called “Leadership and the Tripping Point.” Heh heh.
Okay, NOW I’m done.
