<p>As employees seek to strengthen their identity in the workplace they must find ways to make an immediate impact for the betterment of the company as well as themselves.&nbsp; This requires a commitment to share your voice with others so that your influence can be naturally felt throughout your team, your department and the organization.&nbsp;&nbsp; Strengthening your identity is not a self-serving act, but rather a responsibility to those that you serve.&nbsp; The goal is to&nbsp;<strong><em>become a thought leader</em></strong>.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>What is a Thought Leader?</strong></p>
<p>A thought leader is a person who identifies trends, common themes and patterns within a particular industry or functional area of expertise to help others identify new opportunities or solutions for growth.</p>
<p>Most people believe that thought leadership is only for senior executives.]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://www.totalexec.com.au/totalexec-views/rss-comments-entry-14370438.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>Respect and Leadership</title><category>Leadership</category><category>Respect</category><category>Responsible Leadership</category><category>Total Executive TV</category><dc:creator>Grant Crossley</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 30 Jan 2012 01:00:07 +0000</pubDate><link>http://www.totalexec.com.au/totalexec-views/2012/1/30/respect-and-leadership.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">510303:6112059:14371639</guid><description><![CDATA[<p>James H.
