Thought leadership in the AI Age is multifaceted, multi-disciplinary, and multidimensional. It is a combination of at least five elements, based upon a whole-person approach:


First, Vision, Principle, Character. Perhaps the most important characteristic of thought leadership is to “stand for something.” 


Thought leaders lead with vision, foresight, and a commanding view of a bigger picture. They are driven by purpose, mission, and goals, and so are their organizations.


Second, Originality.  You cannot be a thought LEADER by recycling AI generated ideas.


Thought leaders must be innovative thinkers. They bring unique insights to their teams and organizations. They encourage others to think differently, and foster a culture of innovation by making it safe to experiment and fail. 


Third, EQ. 


AI can’t replace human-to-human connections. Teamwork and collaboration, based on EQ and intrinsic motivation, has become an important facet of thought leadership. 


Fourth, Curiosity. 


Fifth, Inter-disciplinary. 


(In the 3rd and final segment, you will learn how a thought leadership coach can help, in at least five ways.)
