First Follower: Leadership Lessons from Dancing Guy
從跳舞男到領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者
If you've learned a lot about leadership and making a movement, then let's watch a movement happen, start to finish, in under three minutes, and dissect some lessons.
如果你已經(jīng)了解很多關(guān)于領(lǐng)導(dǎo)能力和創(chuàng)造趨勢(shì)的事，那我們來看看一個(gè)趨勢(shì)的誕生，在三分鐘之內(nèi)，從開始到結(jié)束，并深入分析出一些課程。
First, of course, a leader needs the guts to stand alone and look ridiculous. But what he is doing is so simple. It's almost instructional. This is key. You must be easy to follow!
首先，當(dāng)然，一位領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者要有膽識(shí)才能讓他特立獨(dú)行又看似可笑。但他做的事情非常簡(jiǎn)單。幾乎是像教科書一般。這是關(guān)鍵。你必須讓人易于追隨!
Now here comes the first follower with the crucial role. He publicly shows everyone else how to follow. Notice how the leader embraces him as an equal, so it's not about the leader anymore; it's about them, plural. Notice how he is calling to his friends to join in. It takes guts to be a first follower! You stand out. You brave ridicule, yourself. Being a first follower is an under-appreciated form of leadership. The first follower transforms a lone nut into a leader. If the leader is the flint, the first follower is the spark that makes the fire.
現(xiàn)在這里出現(xiàn)了扮演非常重要角色的第一位追隨者。他公開的對(duì)其他所有人展示如何去追隨。注意領(lǐng)袖如何接納他，視他為一個(gè)平等的角色，所以不再只有領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者一個(gè)人了；這是關(guān)于他們，復(fù)數(shù)。注意他如何號(hào)招他的朋友們加入。有膽識(shí)才能當(dāng)?shù)谝粋€(gè)追隨者!你站出來。你勇敢地自嘲。身為第一位追隨者是一個(gè)沒有被足夠重視的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者形式。第一位追隨者把一個(gè)孤獨(dú)的瘋子轉(zhuǎn)變成一位領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者。如果領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者是那打火石，第一位追隨者就是生起火的那顆火花。
Now here's the second follower. This is a turning point. It's proof the first has done well. Now it's not a lone nut, and it's not two nuts. Three is a crowd, and a crowd is news. A movement must be public. Make sure outsiders see more than just the leader. Everyone needs to see the followers, because new followers emulate followers, not the leader.
現(xiàn)在這是第二位追隨者。這是個(gè)轉(zhuǎn)折點(diǎn)。這是第一位追隨者做得不錯(cuò)的證明?，F(xiàn)在不是個(gè)孤獨(dú)的瘋子，也不是兩個(gè)瘋子。三個(gè)人就是群眾了，而群眾就是新聞。趨勢(shì)必須是公開的。確保外人不只看到領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者。每個(gè)人都需要看到那些追隨者，因?yàn)樾碌淖冯S者效仿原本的追隨者，不是領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者。
Now here come two more people, then three more immediately. Now we've got momentum. This is the tipping point! And now we have a movement!
現(xiàn)在又多來兩個(gè)人，然后馬上又多了三個(gè)?，F(xiàn)在我們有氣勢(shì)了。這是個(gè)爆發(fā)點(diǎn)!而現(xiàn)在我們有了個(gè)新流行趨勢(shì)!
As more people jump in, it's no longer risky. If they were on the fence before, there's no reason not to join in now. They won't stand out. They won't be ridiculed, and they will be part of the in-crowd, if they hurry. Over the next minute you'll see the rest who prefer to stay part of the crowd, because eventually they'd be ridiculed for not joining.
隨著越多人加入，它變得不再有風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。如果他們之前猶豫不決，現(xiàn)在沒有理由不加入。他們不會(huì)顯得突兀。他們不會(huì)被嘲笑，而且如果他們加緊腳步，他們會(huì)變成圈內(nèi)人的一份子。在接下來的一分鐘你會(huì)看到剩下的人寧愿加入人群，因?yàn)樽罱K他們會(huì)因?yàn)闆]加入而被嘲笑。
And ladies and gentlemen, that is how a movement is made! So, let's recap what we've learned: If you are a version of the shirtless dancing guy, all alone, remember the importance of nurturing your first few followers as equals, making everything clearly about the movement, not you.
而女士先生們，那就是如何建立起一個(gè)流行趨勢(shì)!所以，我們來回顧所學(xué)：如果你是打赤膊跳舞男那種型的人，獨(dú)自一個(gè)人，記得平等地培養(yǎng)第一群少數(shù)追隨者的重要性，讓每件關(guān)于這個(gè)趨勢(shì)的事情都清楚明白，而不是你自己。
Be public. Be easy to follow! But the biggest lesson here: Did you catch it? Leadership is over-glorified. Yes, it started with the shirtless guy, and he'll get all the credit, but you saw what really happened. It was the first follower that transformed a lone nut into a leader. There is no movement without the first follower.
要公開。要是易于追隨的!但是這里最重要的課程：你學(xué)到了嗎？領(lǐng)導(dǎo)能力被過度喧染了。是的，是從脫衣男開始的，然后他將得到所有的功績(jī)，但你看到了真正發(fā)生的事情。是第一位追隨者把一個(gè)孤獨(dú)的瘋子轉(zhuǎn)變成一位領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者。要是沒有第一位追隨者就不會(huì)有流行趨勢(shì)。
See! We're told we all need to be leaders, but 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. When you find a lone nut doing something great, have the guts to be the first person to stand up and join in.
看!我們被告知都得當(dāng)個(gè)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者，但是那會(huì)真的很沒效率。創(chuàng)造流行趨勢(shì)的最佳方式，如果你真的在乎，就是勇敢地追隨并表現(xiàn)給其他人看如何追隨。當(dāng)你發(fā)現(xiàn)一個(gè)孤獨(dú)的瘋子在做某些偉大的事情，勇敢地當(dāng)?shù)谝粋€(gè)站起來加入的人。
注解：Two is company, three is a crowd.: 英文里有這樣一句俚語，意思是說感情世界里面只有兩個(gè)人就是互相的伴侶，有三個(gè)人時(shí)就太擁擠，會(huì)發(fā)生問題。
