Thought Leadership: definition
Thought leadership is not self-promotion. It works only when the point of view is genuinely useful to the audience and defensible under scrutiny.
For a company, it usually centres on its founders or senior experts, whose ideas, placed in respected media, make them names journalists call first and sources that search and AI systems cite.
It compounds over time: each credible appearance makes the next one easier to earn, until the person becomes a default voice in the category.
