<p>Thank-you for the comments! I'm 100% certain that writing this or anything else I've written (or will write in the future) could place me in danger of being labeled a thought-leader. Ick! </p>

Kelly would immediately correct that title and explain that opinion in a post is not being a thought leader. In my opinion the most obnoxious thing in our industry is the self proclaimed guru or thought leader. When I see that on a post, a profile or someone self proclaimed to be an "expert" their credibility goes to minus zero in my book. When I get those in mails on LinkedIn that say, "how can or I can help you", my immediate response is, not only can you not, you are off the Christmas card…

<p>Amen to this great post... there are many, many thought leaders in our field that recruited for a year or never recruited. Many more that blurt out missives about how recruiting should be or "is". While we all can learn from many perspectives, the term thought leader makes me ask "are you truly, in every way, leading the development and growth of our profession?" "do you have the real world experience to back it up?" In my mind it should go like this: is Warren Buffett and investment…</p>

<p>Thought leader is a hideous term. Those who call themselves that should get out more often! An anagram of 'A thought leader' is coincidentally 'Altogether now.....duh!. Also, social media guru, another self-assigned name to detest becomes 'a ludicrous image' when you jumble the letters up. :-)</p>
