There are many characteristics associated with leadership. Here are a few key skills you’re going to need when you’re setting up your business venture.

myths about leadership Are people chosen to lead or do they choose? Below is a short clip about how leadership comes about,

with some lessons about how you could get involved - if you choose to!

A short clip of Meslin’s inspiring talk about the way we see apathy.

Heroism is a myth. A heroic effort is

a collective effort, not individual,

it’s imperfect and it’s voluntary -

you are not chosen, you choose to

be a leader.

The antidote to apathy Dave Meslin

A ‘tribe’ is a group of people connected together by a shared experience or belief. Leaders make tribes.

The concept of ‘Tribes’ was first described by Seth Godin, a well known figurehead in modern marketing, but the idea is not a new one. Tribes are a group of people connected together by a shared experience or interest. Tribes tend to look out for

each other, and they tend to like each other, too.

Thanks to the internet, now even people with niche interests can find each other.

Tribes: an explanation Seth Godin’s idea of ‘Tribes’ is not a new one, the idea has been around for centuries. Tribes are formed

when people are connected together by a similar experience or belief. Here to explain is Seth himself.

Seth Godin argues the Internet has ended mass marketing and revived

a human social unit from the distant

past: tribes. Founded on shared

ideas and values, tribes give

ordinary people the power to lead

and make big change. He urges us

to do so.

history …was a successful movement in the UK that brought together 8 million

in 2005. Those 8 million people were a tribe - people who were

connected together by what they cared about.

This is a tribe!

If you can connect people together and make them care about what you’re doing, you can start a movement.

It’s all about connecting people together – a lot of people will only do something if it means they can build stronger relationships with the people around them, or make new connections with people they have similar interests as.

What does a movement look like? So leaders lead tribes and tribes make movements. What does a movement look like anyway? And how

can you start a movement? Derek Silvers shows us a movement in action.

How do your supporters join in with your movement? What can they do to participate?

How do your supporters spread the message? How do new people find out about your movement?

Anatomy of a movement What do you need to start a movement? Well, it helps if you have thought about the

following three aspects of a successful movement.

Try and make an emotional connection Make an emotional connection in what you’re doing. If you can provoke a reaction in people then you are much

more likely to get a response and get your audience to engage with you.

The world needs you to be a leader. Leadership is more important and accessible now than ever before.

It’s all about connecting people together – a lot of people will only do something if it means they can build stronger relationships with the people around them, or make new connections with people they have similar interests as.

Things to takeaway

Think about what causes or issues you care about or believe in and work out what you want to say.

Find things you care about 1 Stand up for your beliefs. It’s always harder to care than

not to care but that’s never a reason to take a backseat.

Stand up for what you believe in 2

Leaders put their neck on the line when they do something out of the ordinary. Anything worth doing is going to upset the status quo, so don’t be scared of what others may think.

Don’t be scared to be different 3 Find the people that care about the same things you

care about and start up a conversation – you’ll be amazed at where it leads.
