The 5 Elements of Thought Leadership
The Reference Framework
After careful debate and trial and error in the first thought leadership class, these five elements emerged as the core of the Thought Leader Development Model.
Content Creation
The ability to create content that is forward-looking, put into a wide context and, if possible, also provoke discussion to create movement.
Networking and Knowledge Gathering
Gathering knowledge as part of the thought leader process, as well as being able to create your network to promote your thoughts.
Personal Branding
Establishing a recognisable personal brand in the market to be sought after as a thought leader.
Salesmanship
The ability to sell yourself, your thought, and your company — putting the organisation in the number one spot when it comes to selling.
Influence and Support
The ability to have others support you, help push your thought, and make sure that when things get tough you will prevail and get the right support.
