LinkedIn Publishes New Guide on Establishing a Thought Leadership Strategy

With 66% of professionals noting that they would be more likely to recommend a company or brand if they followed a company executive on social media, the importance of thought leadership, and highlighting your internal experts via social platforms, clearly has merit.

But it’s not so easy to establish people as thought leaders – it’s not a ‘set and forget’ or simply automated task that you can assign to just anybody, or expect from all employees.

So how can you go about mapping an effective, responsive thought leadership growth strategy to highlight your internal champions and executives?

This week, LinkedIn has published a new, 50-page guide on exactly that.

In its “Business of Thought Leadership” guide, LinkedIn shares a range of tips and notes on thought leadership approaches, beginning with the basics of how to get started.

LinkedIn provides a range of insights, including pointers on how to approach your strategy, and how to develop your leadership voice.
