Well for one thing, saying "change the world" can mean many things. If by 'world' you mean humanity or society then yes, one man can inspire change in the world. Would there still be change if the majority has no 'idea' to agree on? By your logic, no.
Would the nazis have affected the world without Hitler? No.
Would the Indian people have found freedom with a leader such as Ghandi? No.
Herds need their shepherds. That shepherd is one man.

Herds exist without shepherds.
Shepherds do not exist without herds.
Herds changed the world long before an intelligence developed that thought it needed to lead them.
Shepherds frequently find themselves overrun by their herds when they forget who really needs who most.
A shepherd that forgets that ultimately they are there to serve the herd will lose the herd, starve, and the herd will survive just fine unless the shepherd has unnecessarily weakened them from the natural strength they found them with.edit on 18-10-2012 by ErgoTheConclusion because: (no reason given)
One man cannot change the world but together, we can change the Universe.

Amazing huh?
My belief is that we are the ultimate killing and destorying weapons. Throw a few humans at Mars, release that energy and Mars is now dust floating in space, LOL. explode us all together and the Universe is basicly f#cked lol.
On a serious note, My belief is that we are consioussness in holographic vessels through which we can operate. Since consiousness is all that is, all potential, we can create and destroy about...anything really. All technology in the world is nothing compared with what fully operational concioussness can do. Basicly we are everything and everything is us. I had one experience in my dreams where I was, kinda hard to explain, everything lol. I was pure consioussness. Its hard to imagine to put all that space in one human body. Being human is both a blessing and a curse.
Peace brother
