Want to be a thought leader in your field? Just having an insightful message isn’t enough. You also need to get that message out.
Tapping tools that spread your ideas is the way to position yourself as the go-to person on your topic of expertise. Social media can help raise your profile in ways that didn’t exist in the pre-internet world. But you still need to communicate a powerful message.
Remember, though, that most people don’t become thought leaders by accident. You need to follow a proven system to pull it off.

Joining a tech council has given Bob Lindner an “amazing opportunity to stay on top of what other tech leaders are talking about,” he said.
Lindner is the co-founder of Veda, a provider of healthcare automation products and services. The tech council has also provided a forum for Lindner to “pressure-test new ideas about how to approach tech problems with a group of peer thought leaders.
Lindner highly recommends “finding skill or industry-specific membership organizations.”
