Thought Leadership

'Look, it’s that thought leader!'
'Who?'
'That guy, the one who’s recognised as being the expert in the field.'
'Really? How come?'
‘Because he wrote a book about it.'
‘Was he a thought leader when he wrote the book?'
‘No.'
'So he became a thought leader because he wrote a book?'
‘Sorry?’
'He became a thought leader because of a book he wrote when he wasn't a thought leader?'
'Yeah, I guess so.'
‘Now, that’s a thought leader!’

"Why do I need to know the complex bits?"

"Because they are integral to the subject. You need to understand all the elements and grasp them in their complexity."

"But I don’t understand them."

"That's the point. It's supposed to make you think and learn."

"I don't get that, can you simplify it?"
