Você está começando uma carreira em liderança de pensamento. O que você precisa saber?

Adding to other comments on being authentic. Pick an area you have genuine passion and interest in rather than one that may be being pushed upon you in some way. You’ll find it easier to raise the energy to invest the time needed to build your profile and network (which is significant), and your audience will feel that.

Thought leadership is the ability to cut through the clutter and visualise the many outcomes in an area whether related to profession, business, social, political, science or otherwise and where one has had the experience and has gained expertise over many years through practice and application of fundamentals. If one wants to develop a career in thought leadership stay close to your passion, take a deep breath and develop a habit to listen to your mind. You will know what to do…

One thing I have found to be helpful is to be prepared to express your ideas two levels up and three levels down and being open and curious about diverse perspectives.

As a seasoned People leader, my advice to young professional leaders: •Allow your employee to take a day off if they need it. •Allow them to work from home for a day if they choose. •Allow them to claim reimbursement for a meal. •Allow them to take an hour off for personal reasons. These are seemingly insignificant acts, while demonstrate a deep regard for your team's preferences and demands. They play a crucial role in fostering a culture of respect and trust. It tells our team that their well-being and individual preferences matter and they are respected. I encourage you to consider the power of these small acts in your own leadership journey. After all, it's often the little things that make the most significant difference.

Be curious, ask open-ended questions and listen carefully. Understand different perspectives and the environment you are operating in. Use experience and knowledge gained to deliver authentic and genuine content that creates value.

Nurture your curiosity, become comfortable with questioning the status quo with WHY or WHY NOT. Read, read and read. Knowing the domain is critical to give you the skill to see patterns that others dont, and leveraging the patterns to make your point is all what thought leadership is about. Focus on bringing out the insight that your audience can use, to create tangible value for their business.

Certainly! Starting a career in thought leadership involves a combination of strategic planning, content creation, networking, and continuous innovation. Here's a breakdown of the key steps and additional considerations: 1. Identify a specific area of expertise or industry where you can provide unique insights. 2.Understand the needs and interests of your target audience within that niche. 3.Develop high-quality content that adds value to your audience. 4.Use various formats like articles, videos, podcasts, and infographics to cater to different preferences. 5. Consistency is key – establish a regular publishing schedule.

At the start of your thought leadership journey, you'll need to commit to reading a lot more than you write. TL is a shifting landscape with everything from news, innovations and regulations impacting topics you may be writing about - and this is happening at a much faster pace today. Plus, as you strive to build credibility as a thought leader, it's important to know the prevalent thoughts being put out by other experts and present a considered view of where you stand. Also, remember not all TL presents 'new' thinking...you could be synthesizing information or news, cross-pollinating ideas across domains, or even presenting a cross-functional perspective for topics considered very niche or technical.

For creating valuable content the following points should be considered: 1. Know Your Audience: Understand who your target audience is and what they're looking for. 2. Provide Useful Information: Focus on delivering content that educates, informs, or solves a problem for your audience. 3. Be Authentic and Unique: Be genuine and relatable, as people are more likely to connect with content that feels authentic. 4. Use Different Formats: Experiment with various content formats such as blog posts, videos, infographics, podcasts, or social media posts. 5.Stay Consistent: Consistency is key when it comes to content creation. Develop a content schedule and stick to it.

Thought leadership refers to having expertise in the creation of content in your personalized tone, voice, and narrative throwing a perspective from your real or personal life on a subject area that indicates your leadership in the domain. You can demonstrate your thought leadership through the best use of storytelling techniques through your professional content with a mastery of putting a personal touch to it.

Thoughts should be original, relevant, interesting and timely. As the thoughts mature, leadership follows naturally. Consistency in reading and writing is part of it. If you are passionate and honest about your realm, ideas keep emerging. Some people should be close enough for refinement through discussions

Key specific building blocks for engagement when starting a thought leadership career: 1) pick your role models / gurus whose style and depth of thought leadership you aspire to or who are experts in the field you are exploring - regularly and consistently engage on their content by adding comments and reacting to what they have to say, post questions they can answer to in comments or posts, be a regular supporter of their work so they start noticing you as a member of their tribe and hopefully engage back on your content too 2) peers who are just a few steps ahead or at the same point of the journey as you - engage on their content like with the role models above - organise shared podcasts, articles, posts or content

A great tactic to engage with your network is to host executive roundtables or panel discussions. Let's shift the lens from incremental to exponential visibility. Here is the playbook, Pick 1 trending topic. Pick 3 decision-makers in your network. Setup a panel and invite them as speakers. Promote it to your network. Your speakers will promote it to their network. Make it a great experience. This elevates your positioning, creates deeper relationships with decision-makers and brings in hundreds of new followers to your network.

Engaging with your network is first and formost creating content that people can respond and comment on. This means: 1. Creating Social Media content that is intersting and thought provoking enough for people to ocmment. That will take take some time. 2. Comment on other people's psots and content in your niche. That's the first step to joining/creating a community.

Most thought leaders are cliche parrots - there is little innovation or original thought. Here is the equation: Thought Leadership = Innovation - Realisation Innovation is new thought, perspectives and ideas. Realisation is what everyone already knows. That gap is your thought leadership. Deliver surplus value for exponential results.

Being bold is definitely part of being a leader, or a thought leader. Just remeber that most of the content you'll create isn't supposed to reinvent the wheel. A lot of it will simply validate people's thoughts and feeling about a certain topic, and that's totally fine.

Just start, it's easy to get caught up in thinking your opinion and insights are less valuable than others. However your experience is your own. Be authentic and don't chase trends or likes. If have a stance ensure you can back it up with facts, or call it out as a gut feel. Ensure that you are respectful of those who disagree, even if they are disparaging towards your position. Welcome the opposing perspective and encourage debate. The real goal here is not to massage your ego, but encourage broader thinking on the topic to wider audience.

Don’t just bluntly copy paste someone else’s opinion. Try to promote discussion by clearly articulating your thoughts on a topic without being too aggressive so leave room for discussion. Be contrarian!

Thought leadership isn't really a career (despite what this article says). Nonetheless, there are two kinds of thought leaders: 1. People who are industry leaders first and then become thought leaders. 2. People who skip the first step. If you're the former, you mostly just need to have thoughts, write them and publish them. If you're the latter, you need to focus on developing a personal brand along with that, because not enough people will listen to you without one (since you don't have street cred).

You don’t start your career in thought leadership :) You develop your career and become an expert in an area, establish niche and become a thought leader. These questions come up when AI is asking questions. :)

A comprehensive article that contains all the requirements for a successful leader. It can be added that a true leader must avoid selfishness and arrogance, adhere to permanent loyalty, be fair among everyone, avoid bias and fanaticism in all its forms, and be a true human being.
