7. Surround Yourself with a Good Team

Behind every thought leader, there is an awful team. Thought leaders don't do all the hard work alone; they appoint the expertise of a smart support team.

Do not underestimate any member of your team. Be humble, set pride aside and try seeking expert advice from your team members. Try to also make corrections where you fall short; this will gain you more respect.

Let your team members also take a full part in the creation process and understand your goals as to attaining a thought leadership status.

Surround yourself with a terrific team, and they will help you build a legacy.

And It’s a Wrap!

Thought leadership is a lifetime process; once you've established yourself as an expert in your industry, you have to be consistent so as to remain on the top.

Be open to new ideas, keep improving yourself and your brand and the sky will be your limit.
