RE: Intelligently gathering Steem
Perhaps it is the Aspie in me, but being non-social by nature means I tend to look at things 'differently' to most.
eg "social media", I just don't really get it. Everyone seems to want 'followers'. Does that make them 'leaders'? If everyone is following then it may appear that way.
But in my view if you wanted to start a 'movement' you would not look for followers, you would be more interested in finding 'leaders'
Perhaps that is the sign of a real leader, someone who seeks 'leaders NOT followers? Just a thought.
Here is a 3min video to express the concept a little better
The most important person in the group is the first follower, not the leader. It is they who corroborate the story and indicate to others that here is something to follow.
But, (especially here) it is not how many follow, it is the quality of follower. People worry about volume like they are at an all you can eat buffet when they should be approaching it more as fine dining.
Yes that is my point, the 'followers' are actually 'leaders'. The person who started the whole thing is no where to be seen, has no one following, just got it started & made it happen & stepped back. ie the real 'leader'
You are very correct re the 'all-can-eat' mindset of social media in general. eg a 1mm followers generally means someone is 'important' or at least they think so. True leadership imho is about empowering others, who share a like mind / concept and once aided / assisted in 'getting started' they are off & running, self motivated.
Leaving the original "concept creator" / "leader" free to start a new & different 'revolution' / idea of some sort.
My personal view summed up:
