5 EXAMPLES OF THOUGHT LEADERSHIP IN THE WORKPLACE

by Timothy Snow — Jan. 16, 2023

1) The most valuable voice in a meeting isn’t the person who talks the most. It’s the person who says the most with the fewest words. Dominating the discussion signals high self-importance or low self-awareness. Making space for others to contribute shows respect and earns respect.

2) Productivity is overrated. What counts most is the quality of output, not the quantity. People may be impressed by the volume you produce, but impact depends on the value you create. Success isn’t about getting more things done. It’s about doing more worthwhile things well.

3) True commitment to work-life balance is giving people permission to take other priorities as seriously as their jobs. In burnout cultures, people are expected to drop everything for work. In healthy cultures, people are encouraged to protect time for family, health, and leisure.
