Keeping up with trends on Twitter is too difficult. Keeping up with the new, in general, is damn near impossible. And the news of the world? News outlets can barely keep up. (The amount of information we should be seeing trumps what we actually see.)
It’s hard not to be a bad follower, hard to stay in sync with our online dinner parties and the digitalized world around us.
On the other hand, it’s quite easy to become a great leader because it’s hard not to be a bad follower.
When we start creating our own news, doing work that matters and connecting with people at real dinner parties, we thwart the concept of constant synchronicity with the online world.
Great leaders strive off the beaten path; they can’t create a trend by following one.
