Leaderly Quote: Don’t wait to be anointed. Act as if.
By Jo Miller
Want to stand out as a thought leader? It’s time to go beyond putting your head down and just getting your work done, according to Denise Brosseau.
“Don’t wait to be anointed. Act as if,” says Brosseau, a thought leadership strategist, speaker and the author of Ready to Be a Thought Leader?
Act as if
“I encourage my clients to act as if they are thought leaders every day, and eventually they will be—whether anointed or not,” says Brosseau. “Try out behaviors like relentless curiosity, engage with others who love the same things you do, tell a story (rather than only relying on data and facts) to gain attention for your ideas.”
