Building Your Thought Leadership

leadershipUpon reaching a certain level of success, you will understandably want to expand your sphere of influence and become a true “thought leader.”

How do some entrepreneurs and executives make this massive leap from successful businessperson to thought leader? One of the most effective ways is to write a book. Having authored a book creates a combination of credibility and reputation. It also offers business professionals a greater level of interpersonal communication to build trust with their consumers or clients as well as with the world-at-large.

CEOs often mistakenly believe that a ghostwriter or editor will not be able to capture their voice. This mindset keeps many business leaders from finding a collaborator. The relationship might seem daunting, and writing a book may seem like too difficult a task on the mind of a busy chief executive or business owner. Finding the right partner will make the process infinitely easier. By not writing a book they may be leaving the ultimate marketing tool and reputation builder on the table.
