Setting the Table for First Like
Leadership is only good if people follow. You can have the best intentions and goals but if no one follows your lead, your leadership won’t go anywhere.
This is why they often say the most important person to a leader is their first follower, without them, there’s nothing.
In addition, leaders won’t continue leading if no one follows. Followers are essential to leadership making an impact and leaders continuing to lead.
On the flip-side, the moment people start accepting the leadership and start following; momentum builds.
But imagine how much momentum you’d have if not just one follower followed, but a group of followers followed.
The First Like exercise creates an environment that builds confidence in the leader and leverages the leaders leadership to another level.
"“I had never thought of racing to support my teammates leadership the way I do now as a result of the First Like exercise.”"
