  2. Tipping Point Leadership “To appreciate the power of epidemics… we need to prepare ourselves for the possibility that sometimes big changes follow from small events, and that sometimes these changes can happen very quickly” “Look at the world around you. It may seem like an immovable, implacable place. It is not. With the slightest push – in just the right place – it can be tipped” • We are looking for the small things that lead to epidemic-like contagion • If we can find them – then a small concentration of resources in key areas will produce the maximum effect From: The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference, Malcolm Gladwell, 2000
