They're smart. But unfortunately, experts are a diamond dozen. There are lots of people who know something about a subject, but a thought leader on the other hand is someone who's known for knowing something by a group of people that care very deeply about what it is that they know something about. So thought leaders are rare and valuable."The Importance of Business Purpose: "Business is not about dollars. It's about people.
