What makes the best thought leadership content (Hint: it’s not research)
Finding good (let alone great) thought leadership content online is — cliched as it may sound — like finding a needle in a haystack. And because such content is so rare, the individuals (think Bill Gates’s blog writing project) and companies (think McKinsey) that do publish such content are held in high regard by everyone. Not only the mainstream audience but even business owners and leaders, the movers and shakers in various industries stop and listen (or read) when such sources publish something new. Many such leaders even base their major business decisions on the ideas and insights they gain from reading good thought leadership content.
