We begin another iteration of the NAIS School Leadership Institute tomorrow outside DC, so the topic of leading is very much on my mind. A colleague sent this link to a funny, yet quite provocative, video of a shirtless dancing guy at a summer music festival. The narrator makes a terrific point about the pivotal, make that essential, role followers play in a leader's success or lack thereof. Best such clip I've seen all season.
One take away (among many): it is the arrival of the "first follower" that turns a lone nut into a leader. Worth thinking about, in my view.
