The document discusses the importance of followers in leadership. It argues that a lone leader is not effective and that the first follower to join a leader transforms them into an actual leader by validating their idea and creating a movement. The biggest lesson is that true leadership requires followers, as it is the first follower who transforms a lone person into a respected leader by starting a followership.

3.  A leader needs a guts to stand alone and look
ridiculous.
 The leader must be easy to follow.

4.  It’s not about the leader alone, it’s about us.
 Being the first follower is an under-appreciated form
of leadership. The first follower transform a lone nut
into a leader
 If the leader is the flint, the first follower is the spark
that makes the fire.

5.  The second follower is the proof that the first follower
done well.
 The new follower emulate the follower, not a leader.
 As they grow, they got a momentum. Proof that they
got a movement

6. When you fine a lone nut doing something great,
have the guts to be the first person
to stand up and join in

7.  Biggest Lesson is:
“ Leadership is over- glorified ”
“ It was the first follower that
transformed a lone nut into a leader “
“There is no movement without the first follower”
