在這個TED Talk中，Derek Sivers探討了領導力和運動形成的動力學，揭示了關於領導力真正含義的常見誤解。他使用一個簡單的舞蹈活動來示範如何在短短三分鐘內發起一個運動。
Why Building a Movement Matters to Entrepreneurs
Establishing a movement is pivotal for founders of startups since it generates a compelling force that encourages adoption and endorsement of their product or service. This movement nurtures a profound connection and a sense of unity among early adopters, increasing the likelihood of them becoming fervent supporters of the startup. These initial supporters play a vital role in affirming the startup's vision and propelling its development forward.
Investors and resource providers often gauge the robustness of a startup by assessing the strength and vitality of its community, which is cultivated through the efforts of building a movement. Some even posit that the primary role of startup founders is to initiate and steer a new movement, utilizing their product/service and business model as tools to engage with and create meaningful impacts for their community.
建立運動對於新創公司的創辦人來說至關重要，因為這樣能夠產生一個令人信服的力量，鼓勵人們採用和支持他們的產品或服務。這樣的運動培養了早期採用者之間深刻的聯繫和團結感，讓他們更有可能成為對新創公司充滿熱情的支持者。這些最初的支持者在確認新創公司願景和推動其發展方面扮演了關鍵的角色。
投資者和資源提供者通常會通過評估一個新創公司所建立的社群的強度和活力來判斷其穩健性。有些人甚至認為，創辦人的主要任務就是發起和引領一個新的運動，並通過他們的產品/服務和商業模式作為工具，與社群互動並創造對他們有意義的影響。
Key Takeaways on Leadership & Building a Movement
Sivers emphasizes that leaders sometimes take unconventional actions, even if they are difficult for others to understand. In these situations, the true leaders are actually the first few followers who embrace the imperfect idea. Traditional leadership training often overlooks the acknowledgment of these early followers, another form of leadership.
領導者有時會採取非常規行動，即使這些行動對其他人來說難以理解。在這些情況下，真正的領導者實際上是最先擁抱不完美想法的幾位跟隨者。傳統的領導力培訓經常忽略了對這些早期跟隨者的認可，這其實是另一種形式的領導力。
My Personal Reflections and Insights
I realized that I have neglected those who are braver than the outspoken first leader in the past. Often, those who follow a potential movement may need to do more explanation than the first dancer. Simultaneously, Y Combinator, the renowned startup accelerator, teaches us to distinguish between people who like our product and those who love it at the early stages. Those who truly love our product embrace its imperfections and unconditionally promote it.
我意識到我在過去忽略了那些比第一位大聲疾呼的領導者更勇敢的人。通常，那些跟隨潛在運動的人可能需要比第一位跳舞的人做更多的解釋。同時，著名的初創企業加速器Y Combinator教導我們在初期階段區分喜歡我們產品的人和愛我們產品的人。真正愛我們產品的人會擁抱它的不完美並無條件地推廣它。
Possible Changes and Take Aways
We should acknowledge and cherish those who first embrace our imperfect ideas, recognizing their critical role in forming a movement. Moreover, we should learn to differentiate the true supporters from the mere bystanders.
我們應該認可並珍惜那些最先擁抱我們不完美想法的人，並認識到他們在形成運動中的關鍵作用。此外，我們應該學會區分真正的支持者和旁觀者。
How it has changed the way I lead and do things
This reflection has opened my eyes to the true dynamics of leadership and movement formation. We must value those who embrace our imperfect ideas and recognize their vital role in initiating change as possible "under-estimated" true leader and actually are the ones that ignite the actual movement. Without these true leaders, we would simply be viewed as crazy lonely one that continue dancing on our own.
這次反思讓我對領導力和運動形成的真正動力學有了新的認識。我們必須重視那些擁抱我們不完美想法的人，並認識到他們在啟動變革中的重要作用。尤其這些願意先擁抱我們的瘋狂，才是真正的被低估的帶領領導者。因為有了他們加入，這個運動才有可能被點燃，不然我們還是一位瘋狂無人理會的"跳舞者"。
