I am also 20+ yrs in experiencing "thought leaders". They are not thought leaders. They are followers. If you want to be a leader, how do you innovate and make people you have better to create and improve. Not replace for cheap, sub-par results.
The cynical view is it’s a shallow influencer marketing play that feeds narcissism and often is just someone playing hype person.
But the real ones aren’t trying to be thought leaders. They’re trying to think and provide their experienced and expert insights in public or quasi public.

A thought leader.
And there's no cure.
(You're too nice, so couldn't bare to say **** you 😂)
(Oh no, a whole four stars! I might have fainted 🙀)
