EXTREME FOLLOWING: Followers versus Leaders
This compilation of notes is either about the social behavior of influencers or the influence of social behaviors.
More likely it is about both. But specifically it is about how certain parties choose not to LEAD and instead choose, as followers, to PRESSURE.
I’m assuming myself that there is a way to navigate through this topic with less text, better pictures, and current well-known examples. But for now I’m parking the notes here for people to explore as they check their suspicions of what this closing diagram is showing, and see where their own direct observations and experiences fit in. As usual with these notebooks I toss around, you may be a fast reader but having a short attention span will not help you here.
My shorthand for this issue is the phrase, “the unholy alliance of social media and political correctness.” I increasingly see parallels between what goes on outside of organizations and what goes on inside of them. Not so surprising, given that the internal version of organizations now inhabits the web as much as it does office buildings; so, behavior on the web, however abnormal, becomes normalized unless someone stops it.
Here it is, so far, from the start.
