How about this. Thought leadership is the process of helping others to discover their own enlightenment, superb leadership is the ability to help others to become thought leaders. Just a thought.
For someone who struggles to visualize you certainly have a superb skill at presenting your vision with clarity. Also a wonderful tallent for penetrating thought and analysis, quite a perspective for being 'blinkered'.
Blessed be.
I think it is an aspect of thought leadership for sure. But, not everyone need be a thought leader, though I wish everyone would think a little more about what they are doing in this life they have.
My mind used to race and the challenge was to hold onto thoughts for long enough to detail them. Now, it still races but the challenge is having the thoughts flow into something coherent :)
Lol....oh I so understand that.
