Understanding Thought Leadership
Thought leadership is not mere leadership; it is something more than that. It would not be proper to signify thought leadership only in terms of business that drives profits and nothing else. It is not about becoming a subject expert. It is also not only about developing a personal brand by propagating thoughts but creating a cutting edge by making enough moves to warrant the difference.
The Essence of Thought Leadership
It is about walking ahead innovatively. It is about the power of ideas and thought processes that compel people and communities to get influenced, change their way of life, motivate them to lead a quality life, and do good at large—not only in limited terms of organization, business, and profits but beyond that. How the idea that leads and empowers people through business or organization brings inner happiness in society at large should be the point to be seen and adjudged. Thought leadership and leaders should be able to inspire people and build a strong relationship through trust and credibility. When thought leadership is reduced to maximizing profits in business alone without making inclusive growth of human capital, it will be a halfway journey.
From Ideas to Action
Toying with an idea and putting it forth will only be just the icing on the cake. When it is converted into action successfully, then the person is accepted and respected as a thought leader. I am sure people would consider Dr. Kurien of Amul as a thought leader in a larger context. Dr. TV Rao and Dr. Udai Pareek have gained the status of thought leaders in HR in the country, whose ideas converted into practices have impacted organizations and HR people in a big way. It is intellectual capital when it impacts human capital that becomes the thought leadership in HR.
Challenges in Establishing Thought Leadership
In today's uncertain, ever-changing environment, organizations continue to struggle to establish their thought leadership. To evoke you to think, accept, and implement the idea, new insight or an additional perspective on any subject is the essence. It is to recognize the power of seminal ideas that create order out of chaotic issues.
Exploring Thought Leadership in HR
This edition examines thought leadership and HR with a different perspective. We gather the perspectives of thought leaders across domestic and foreign industry and academia. They offer their very best thinking on the critical issue of thought leadership, distilling their knowledge into clear and concise articles. This is a bunch of flowers having a different fragrance.
