"You need someone looking the other way, who is not just a rebel but a remarkable person too, who asks "Have you thought of...?" I think that if you are any good as a leader, you will have performed the remarkable person role at some time, when you say "I know I signed up to this idea, but I have a feeling I might have been wrong...". The trouble is that most people like a quiet life, so if there is a rationale for going with the herd, they will. To be a remarkable person, you need the courage to stand against the herd."
