After watching the video, I feel that being the first follower requires courage as they have to make a choice whether to follow the person or not for fear of getting ridiculed. The first follower has to persuade the other people that what the leader is doing makes sense so that they will follow them as well.
As for the leader, I feel that being the leader requires courage because they have to guide a group of people in the right direction and bear the responsibility if something bad happens.
Even though the first follower plays a crucial role in persuading people to join, all the work accomplished is credited to the leader as the first follower seems like just the assistant of the leader and is unappreciated.
In class, we carried out an activity whereby the whole class had to split into 2 equal groups. We then had to choose two people from the other group and ensure that we were standing in the middle of the both of them without telling them we had chosen them. When the game was played properly, it would never end as we would have to adjust our position when the other two people moved. This activity was trying to say that we have to depend and rely on each other, so during the trip, we have to help each other out during difficult times.
