This book is all about being a thought leader. Many of us think  that getting our heads down and working hard to get the job done will get us the recognition and notice we want - but Dorie Clark does not think so.

​Through conversations with current major thought leaders including Seth Godin, David Allen and Daniel Pink, Clark inspires readers to overcome the chatter of modern life and inspire others to champion their individual vision, think outside the box, and be truly bold.

Review...

A very practical guidebook on making thoughts into a marketable reality. I have read a couple of Dorie Clark’s books and enjoy her fresh, cheerful and approachable (but no-nonsense) style. She has made a rather exhaustive study of thought leaders and brought their ideas under one roof in this book.

​Unfortunately most of these “you can be a thought leader” type business books are focused on what I call meta-work: i.e., not actually producing anything, but teaching yourself how to charge other people for listening to your ideas. Not everyone will develop a web-based service that no one even knew they needed, then sell it to a company like Google or Adobe for kajillions. But I still enjoyed the positivity, and the principles would apply to any small business that needs to be bootstrapped up in a satisfying way
