Na naradach TED rozprŏwio sie ło bele czym,

Ladies and gentlemen, at TED we talk a lot about leadership

na przikłŏd ło tym, jakŏ sie rŏbi firer a czelŏtka.

and how to make a movement.

So let's watch a movement happen, start to finish,

Przedstŏwiã wōm drapko, jako sie to rŏbi,

in under three minutes

a niskorzyj zbierã to do kupy.

and dissect some lessons from it.

First, of course you know,

Nŏjsōmpiyrw taki chop musi mieć opŏwŏgã,

a leader needs the guts to stand out and be ridiculed.

kejby mu gańba niy było, kej stŏnie przed ludkami.

What he's doing is so easy to follow.

Rŏbi cosik, co inksi letko zmałpujŏm.

Here's his first follower with a crucial role;

Gibko za nim przidzie drugi. Łōn je ważny.

he's going to show everyone else how to follow.

Pokŏże inkszym, jako rŏbić to, co łōn.

Now, notice that the leader embraces him as an equal.

Firer bydzie go miŏł za kamrata.

Now it's not about the leader anymore;

Tyn kamrat hnet sie zrŏbi taki ważny kej tyn firer.

it's about them, plural.

Tyn kamrat hnet sie zrŏbi taki ważny kej tyn firer.

Now, there he is calling to his friends.

Kamrat wŏło swŏich kamratōw.

Now, if you notice that the first follower

Po prŏwdzie, bez niygo nic by sie niy dziŏło.

is actually an underestimated form of leadership in itself.

Beztŏż zŏwżdy kery musi sie przekŏzać przed inkszymi.

It takes guts to stand out like that.

A małowiela je tych, co sie wyrychlōm przed inkszymi.

The first follower is what transforms a lone nut into a leader.

Zŏwdy jak jedyn sie wyrychli,

to ze pofyrtańca mŏmy firera.

(Laughter)

(Śmiych)

(Applause)

(Klackanie)

And here comes a second follower.

Potym mōmy nŏwego chyntnego.

Now it's not a lone nut, it's not two nuts --

Tera to niy yno dwa gupielŏki.

three is a crowd, and a crowd is news.

Kej ich je trzech, to już je czelŏtka, a tam kŏżdy sie ciśnie.

So a movement must be public.

Jak sie cŏsik dzieje, to trza ło tym gŏdać.

It's important to show not just the leader, but the followers,

Yno trza pokŏzać niy yno firera, yno tyż tych, co mu wierzōm,

because you find that new followers emulate the followers, not the leader.

bo nŏwi rŏbić to, co inksi pofyrtańcy, a niy to, co firer.

bo nŏwi robiōm to, co inksi pofyrtańcy, a niy to, co firer.

Now, here come two more people, and immediately after,

Narŏz mŏmy cŏłkie nŏwe persōny,

three more people.

dali zaś trzi nŏwe ludziska.

Now we've got momentum. This is the tipping point.

I narŏz mŏmy wielkŏ czelŏtka.

Now we've got a movement.

Tako kupa lutkŏw, co rŏbiōm tako samo.

(Laughter)

I kej mŏmy w czelŏtce wincy ludzi,

So, notice that, as more people join in,

to sie niy bojymy.

it's less risky.

So those that were sitting on the fence before

A ci, co yno brelali, tyż przidōm do nŏs.

now have no reason not to.

They won't stand out, they won't be ridiculed,

Bo w kupie kŏżdy je taki sōm

i niy wadzi to inkszym.

but they will be part of the in-crowd if they hurry.

I bier sie chopie do rŏbŏty, bo bydziesz po zadku.

(Laughter)

(Śmiych)

So, over the next minute,

Bo za chwila

you'll see all of those that prefer to stick with the crowd

przilecōm ci, co im je żŏl.

because eventually they would be ridiculed for not joining in.

Bo kŏżdy kce być we czelŏtce

keby ło nim niy klachali, że z nimi niy ma.

And that's how you make a movement.

I mŏmy kupa kamratōw.

But let's recap some lessons from this.

A na co to było?

So first, if you are the type,

Jedyn gŏły gupielŏk

like the shirtless dancing guy that is standing alone,

abo pofyrtaniec,

remember the importance of nurturing your first few followers as equals

co przaje kamratōm,

dŏwŏ im fŏry,

so it's clearly about the movement, not you.

pokŏzŏł, że kce być z kamratami, a niy reskirŏwać.

(Laughter)

Okay, but we might have missed the real lesson here.

Jeszcze wōm porozprŏwiōm.

The biggest lesson, if you noticed --

Po prŏwdzie powiym wŏm,

did you catch it? --

iże to niy firer je nŏjważniyjszy.

is that leadership is over-glorified.

iże to niy firer je nŏjważniyjszy.

Yes, it was the shirtless guy who was first,

To tyn sagi gupielŏk wyrychlił sie piyrszy

i łōn zbiere szprymy.

and he'll get all the credit,

but it was really the first follower

Yno dejcie se pozōr, bo to tyn drugi kamrat z pofyrtańca zrobiŏł firera

that transformed the lone nut into a leader.

Yno dejcie se pozōr, bo to tyn drugi kamrat z pofyrtańca zrobiŏł firera

So, as we're told that we should all be leaders,

A kŏżdy je mōndry, kŏżdy kce reskirować.

Yno z tego nic niy przidzie.

that would be really ineffective.

If you really care about starting a movement,

Co by we waszi czelŏtce wszistko pasŏwało do kupy,

niy mŏgecie sie bŏć, yno trza sie przekŏzać

have the courage to follow and show others how to follow.

i pokŏzać inkszym, jak to trza rŏbić,

And when you find a lone nut doing something great,

bo kej jedyn gupielŏk błŏznuje,

have the guts to be the first one to stand up and join in.

to niy siedź, ino gibko rōb to, co łŏn.

Niy szkamrej, yno łŏnacz s nim.

And what a perfect place to do that, at TED.

TED jes richtig łŏd tego.

Pyrsk, ludkowie.

Thanks.

(Applause)
