About this ebook

Thought leaders advance the marketplace of ideas by proposing actionable, commercially relevant, research-backed, "new points" of view. They engage in and showcase innovative thinking as opposed to churning out product-focused, brand-centric white papers, or "curated" content that mimics others' ideas.

But while individual thought leaders are in plentiful supply (at least, those who self-identify as such), many organizations struggle to establish their thought leadership approach. If you recognize the importance of differentiating yourself to clients by offering compelling points of view that are intriguing, innovative, inspiring-and wholly relevant to "them"-this book is for you.

Authors "Dr. Liz Alexander" and "Craig Badings," who have more than 50 years of consulting experience between them, have devised a series of questions that will provoke you to consider all the elements necessary to execute a successful organizational thought leadership campaign. The authors have done the preliminary thinking for you so that your organization can better leverage your value in your industry.

This book takes a different approach to many who see thought leadership as part of a short-term product marketing, advertising, or PR strategy. It will ensure that you embed thought leadership across the entire organization and centralize it as part of your client-centric culture.

Many organizations are squandering time, money, and effort on initiatives that do not move the needle in terms of establishing a differentiated brand identity, deep trust, and loyal followership. Arm yourself with this small yet immensely powerful book and that will no longer be something you have to worry about.

"#THOUGHT LEADERSHIP tweet" is part of the THiNKaha series whose slim, easy-to-read-and-absorb books contain 140 thought-provoking and actionable quotes (tweets/ahas).

Craig Badings is passionate about thought leadership, having witnessed firsthand the power this strategy can deliver to brands and individuals. He has spent 25 years consulting to global and local brands about their communication and thought leadership strategies. Today, he speaks and consults on how companies and individuals can employ thought leadership to truly differentiate their brand in the eyes of their target audience. Over the past six years Craig has conducted intense research on thought leadership and has written extensively on the topic. His book, Brand Stand: Seven Steps to Thought Leadership, is the first thought leadership book to outline a methodology on how to arrive at a thought leadership position. Craig believes the traditional way of selling has been replaced by content. Facilitated by the “always on” nature of the web, consumers/clients have changed the way they source information on products and services before deciding to purchase. The trust necessary to move forward with purchasing can be determined by quality, thought leading content. Craig is a director of Sydney-based Cannings Corporate Communications, a member company of the ASX-listed STW Group, Australia’s largest communications services group.
