“
There are too many sheepwalkers out there, people who have been conditioned by school and society to be obedient and afraid of change. They have been taught to keep their heads down and mind their own business – just like sheep. Well-educated sheep, but sheep nonetheless.
What we need in the world are more heretics: people who question the status quo and the existing dogmas, and take action without asking for permission. Organizations need more heretics to advocate change from the inside: because if you hire amazing people and give them freedom, they will do amazing things. And tribes need heretics as leaders to break into new territory and help change the world.
So why aren’t there more heretics out there? Because the media primes us with a story about heretics: one filled with tales of inevitable downfalls and self-delusion. After all, who would dare believe they can challenge the status quo?
You.
You can overcome this false narrative by talking yourself out of the fear: remind yourself that everything worth doing is risky, and that the world needs and demands the change you’re trying to make. Fear is what is stopping us from transforming our ideas into reality and changing the status quo. But with today’s technology, there is no excuse anymore: you no longer need power or money to make a change. So step up – and start leading your own tribe.
