SDo many of the people chattering about thought leadership are really just parroting the same old jingle. I realize that it doesent have to be complex but surely there should be some kind of match that a thought leader expert enough to teach thought leadership should be able to at least demonstrate their own ability to be innovative and a leader rather than just a follower. maybe i think its much more important to just be a leader rather than being a "thought leader". To me innovation isnt as important as inspiration. actually empowering someone to do and achieve with confidence doesent have to be groundbreakingly shiny and new, it just has to be effective, lasting and valuable to them. helping someone overcome a common roadblock can be much more valuable than equipping them to do something new yet rare. Kat,

That's a great acknowledgment of who you know you are. I personally am an ENJT - and also seem to be attracted to shiny objects, except that my shiny objects are all internal. I literally feel like an idea machine and always thinking about things - things to create, write, do, share, etc. I fill up whiteboards, notecards, notebooks and harddrives with 'things'. *sigh* anyway... This article really resonates with me. I find myself thinking in 140 characters more and more as well and every week I have a few more opted in emails too. The internet connects us to so many wonderful people and I can't help but try to consume it all! I find that thought leadership on the web really boils down to 1) clear communication 2) not being afraid to share 3) quality of content 4) sharing things that can help others and 5) being consistent. Thanks for sharing. Keep doing good. Justin www.twitter.com/leader4hire I laughed at “attracted to many shiny objects”. That’s a great acknowledgment of who you know you are.

Andrea Lee inspired me to look more closely at how to balance being a Thought Leader and creator of Quality Content with learning how to be a more effective marketer. I spent most of 2009 researching sleep and creating quality content, and I loved doing this. Now I need to learn from a Thought Leader like Andrea about how to better convey my message to the market.

I find more refreshment as I manage time better. It certainly helps as one lives as a Thought Leader. Thanks for your inspiring words today.
