To synergise my strengths and become a thought leader

Just thought I’d run this up the AIBU flagpole and see who salutes.

I’m coming into this thread with an open kimono, so if any one else would like to share the inner workings of their mind palace in order to grow together that would be great. We can always circle back to the original point.

Feel free to ping me off thread if theirs insufficient bandwidth to complete your thoughts here. No need to boil the ocean right now.

Basically, a recruiter has reached out asking me to be a thought leader. I’ve been actively eating my own dog food on a parallel path, but it might be time to spread the butter wider. Thoughts?

I can see you both getting onto a resonating trajectory.

Eggsley · 30/03/2022 23:00

I think you should go into it with an open mind and consider it on both a micro and macro level.

Jellybean81 · 30/03/2022 23:01

@CowboyFromHell you're on mute

StopThe · 30/03/2022 23:01

Is it the right level of granularity?

StopThe · 30/03/2022 23:02

Because I'll push back if not.

StopThe · 30/03/2022 23:03

Have you learned in enough?

Jellybean81 · 30/03/2022 23:03

Great matrix working team. We're cutting across silos and generating maximum buzz. Delighted that you can bring your whole selves to this thread

bobbleb · 30/03/2022 23:03

Go for it OP but be sure that all of your thoughts are carefully curated with KPIs that only wise people like yourself can understand/hold you to account on.

BillMasheen · 30/03/2022 23:04

Not sure if I have the bandwidth going forward

Can we circle back and I’ll take a raincheck at close of play.

We could run it up the flagpole and see who salutes?

bobbleb · 30/03/2022 23:06

Also you will need a clear operating framework for the dog food and butter.

CowboyFromHell · 30/03/2022 23:07

@Jellybean81 “………”

Can you hear me now? My zoom’s been playing up all day.

MaryStuart · 30/03/2022 23:08

Come back to me with your strawman proposal

esavian · 30/03/2022 23:10

@CowboyFromHell still can't here you. Checked my sound and it's fine. It's definitely you.

IckyPop · 30/03/2022 23:11

Great corporate wank speak 👏

esavian · 30/03/2022 23:12

@SwanBuster I'm just gonna sit with that a while.

It's always worth considering dipping a toe the wider ocean and see what bandwidth is available for the exercise.
TawnyPippit · 30/03/2022 23:13

We used to place a lot of value on culture carriers. That’s become a less popular designation …

Ohsugarhoneyicetea · 30/03/2022 23:14

Start with the low hanging fruit and lets ruffle some feathers!

(does thought leader basically mean an outstanding ability to mix metaphors?)

esavian · 30/03/2022 23:16

There is some real opportunities for improvement on this thread. If that upsets anyone, could I just ask you to reflect on your critical inner voice and take up my offer for resilience training.

CowboyFromHell · 30/03/2022 23:17

@esavian “……….”

That’s weird - I’ll try turning my computer off then on again.

bobbleb · 30/03/2022 23:20

OP I feel that your thoughts could benefit from coaching and fancy new headshots for their LinkedIn profile.

MaChienEstUnDick · 30/03/2022 23:21

Have you listened to the mood music? What's the cultural beat telling us? And do we have that at the right level of granularity?

SarahBellam · 30/03/2022 23:24

I’m still reeling from the open kimono. Put it away. Nobody needs to see that going forward.

SquishySquirmy · 30/03/2022 23:27

This is very much in my wheelhouse, I will touch base with you by close of play tomorrow. Are you a change architect and can you conceptualize? To kick things off I suggest we strategise how best to accelerate the paradigm shift and manage the change.
Reach out if anything I've communicated needs further contextualising. We can explore the granularity later.
