Follow the leader | Suli Breaks | TEDxHousesofParliament

Suli Breaks is one the UK's leading spoken word poets who captivates audiences and peers alike with his phenomenal wordplay. This piece was especially created for TEDxHousesofParliament 2014 to close the show.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

That was deep, "you be red tomorrow and I'll be green today". The red ranger is the leader always, the green ranger comes and goes, gives a helping hand. The green ranger brings inspiration, new ideas for that episode he showed up in, but we all looked to the red ranger for leadership every episode. I don't know about you guys but I noticed the red ranger who is leading the other Rangers, when the green ranger showed up to help the red ranger got better. We don't need new leaders, we need new ideas.

I was half-expecting this to end with: "It's morphin' time." But that might have been too much. ^^

[karimsherali]

Just the fact that he messed up once or twice made me feel the words as though they were alive.

[RamonThomas]

Even before he started delivering his spoken word poem, I felt the emotion. Follow the leader, follow your heart.

Interesting spoken word, we don't need leaders by ideas, I agree Ideas last forever, however, I feel we need leaders to create the environment for others to contribute with ideas. In order to be a great leader, you need to be a good follower. Great perspective Suli Break..

[MichaelMwakibolwa]

Suli i wish one day i will be the red ranger

[kashifchikondi]

The world dont need new leaders...rather new ideas. Wise words!!!

[debbieruston]

You actually DO know a lot about leadership Suli....taking the stand for being a voice to bring your message to the world.  Your statement we are "pacified to believe we are satisfied" is spot on.  Following your heart and listening to your inner voice  is the path to living the life you desire.  Keep spreading your message:)
