Thought Leadership: Disrupting the Status Quo in Organizations to Ignite Change

This book highlights several general proposals centered around the application of thought leadership as an internal strategy for organizations. To illustrate our point of view, I initially provide a brief discussion highlighting the magnitude of thoughts as drivers in our daily activities. Second, we discuss how our thoughts are influenced. Third, there is a discussion about some ideas to consider in shifting the way we think as well as how we manage and share our thoughts with others in a new age of rapid speed communication. We also examine descriptive and exclusionary traits of thought leaders that separate them from subject-matter experts, innovators or influencers.
