I know this TEDtalk of Seth Godin has been around for a while, but it was inspiring for me to watch.

Most memorable quotes:
Instead of being a sheepwalker –somebody who’s half asleep, following instructions, keeping their head down, fitting in — [...] someone stands up and says ‘not me. This one is important. We need to organize around it’
All tribe leaders have charisma, but you don’t need charisma to become a leader. Being a leader gives you charisma. Charisma comes from the leading.
What leaders have in common
- They challenge the status quo
- They build a culture, a secret language
- They connect people to one another
- They commit to the tribe
