Just the thought of "thought leaders" triggers a quick reaction in most people. Some hear the term and merely shrug. Sure. What about thought leadership? Others hear the term and shake their head. Not my goal. Not who I trust, either. Still others react with a bit more, let's say, spice? Not the sweet-and-mellow pumpkin currently permeating my home area of Boston, either. Some people have a real spicy-spice takes over just hearing the term "thought leader."
