Dancing with Strangers

I’ve just committed to collaborate on a project with a guy (No. 2) I’ve never met and bunch of other strangers.

Guy No. 2 is going to pick the project from a guy (No. 1) he’s never met.

Guy No. 1 will think of 30 project ideas in 30 days.

Guy No. 2 will pick ONE of those 30 ideas then we bunch of strangers will have 30 days to execute the project.

My minimum commitment is to blog once a week about it.

For the background: read this, this, and watch this:

[Update: I switched the numbers around, I originally called the guy I’m following No. 1 but he’s second and I’m third, or five hundred, who knows].

“The first follower created leadership by following the lone nut”. That is classic. Thanks for posting this video. It was an awesome way at looking at leadership. I need to start finding nuts and stop being the nut.

Thanks Terrence. Yes, that’s exactly the quote that jumped out at me … how the first follower turns a nut into a leader! Of course he/she really could be a nut, so it’s not an unqualified ideal!

It’s great to be making your acquaintance on #lrnchat!

Ahem. I must say. All this dancing. It’s all rather American Simon. Could you not do it the English way: make a cup of tea, have some one else make a cup of tea, moan a bit, moan a bit more, do nothing, drink beer, fall over.
