This week’s five Ahas are from the AhaBook™ Dr. Liz Alexander and Craig Badings on Thought Leadership. 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.

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.

This Aha Amplifier™ 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.

Share some of the Aha questions below, and then read and share the entire book via the Aha Amplifier™:

3. What three key trends will impact your clients over the next few years, and can your thought leadership address these? @LeadThought #tll [click to tweet]
4. How do you plan to deal with outright challenges or contradictions to your thought leadership point of view? @LeadThought #tll [click to tweet]
5. At the end of the day, thought leadership-like any performance improvement-is a journey, not a destination. Agreed? @LeadThought #tll[click to tweet]
