A word. (And an excerpt from something that's dropping VERY soon 🔥)
Some of this was news to me but go Lola go!
This is my daughter Sophie and I at Lola’s graduation tonight. I cannot get my center part centered to save my life. But we give these glasses life.
Culture Making (aka Thought Leadership) Means Speaking *Their* Language⁠
⁠
Culture Makers and Thought Leaders have a Language Dilemma and it is getting in the way of our work in the world.⁠
⁠
Here's the invisible barrier in our IP & thought leadership:⁠
⁠
We are practitioners. We are in mastery. We are in love with our subject matter. ⁠
⁠
And so we speak Expert. ⁠
⁠
We speak Nerd. ⁠
⁠
We forget how to speak People.⁠
⁠
And if there's not a bridge between those two languages, our people won't be able to hear us, find us or understand that we've got things that will help.⁠
⁠
Because we're speaking a different language. ⁠
⁠
And so we need to understand what the person --who we want to influence or who wants to learn from us-- wants, in their own words. ⁠
⁠
We need to understand what THEY think the problem is (especially if we've come to a different conclusion).⁠
⁠
We need to understand what it is they're trying to learn. ⁠
⁠
We need to know what's going on in their life. ⁠
⁠
We need to know the words that fall out of their mouth and then start using them, ourselves. ⁠
⁠
We need to know intimately and forensically the person we're trying to influence or who wants to be influenced by our systems of thought.⁠
⁠
And when we're over here in love with our subject matter, we don't speak that language anymore. ⁠
⁠
We speak Expert. ⁠
⁠
We have to remember how to speak People. ⁠

Most of the people doing the *real* thought leadership work - ⁠
⁠
the ones in the mix with us, developing new practices, processes, ideas, solutions and challenging industry norms --⁠
⁠
would cringe at the idea of calling themselves a thought leader.⁠
⁠
Because the dominant narrative around 'thought leadership' is about positioning, posturing and clout-chasing.⁠
⁠
But that, IMHO, is fake thought leadership. That's about manufacturing authority rather than earning it with a robust, methodologized, coherent body of work. ⁠
⁠
(No wonder we cringe.)⁠
⁠
True thought leadership -- culture making! -- is about so much more than just standing on a stage or topping Google searches. ⁠
⁠
True thought leadership is about externalizing your ideas into a meaningful, systematic body of work. ⁠
⁠
Let's get our ideas out of heads and into the world --⁠
And let's put the thoughts back in thought leadership. ⁠
