“Thought Leadership” & “Agents of Change”

Today we have a healthy debate upon which qualities are important to bring the disruptive evolution that can change the future of tomorrow.

We have many influential people that brought “Thought Leadership”. Leaders like Galileo who was responsible for the birth of modern science. He met with bitter opposition from philosophers and clerics but still he kept on following his ideas which were later acknowledge by science community.

We also have other example as Apple and Google. These companies brought the “Thought Leadership” by launching products that are not only simple but also provide ultimate user experience to users.

On other hand we have leaders like Sachin Tendulkar who may not have brought “Thought Leadership” but act as “Agents of change”. He brought change in game of cricket. He change the way games are played today. He may not have brought a new technique of shot but refined many shot to elegance that can put the opposite team in pressure.

But the question that come in mind is that can there two qualities be there in a single human being? Leaders like Mahatma Gandhi not only provided the “Thought Leadership” by giving the principle of “Satya” and “Ahinsa” but also act as “Agents of change” by using these principles and bringing the revolution in Indian masses.

Both the qualities “Thought Leadership” & “Agents of change” are important and can bring about the revolution. But when these qualities are blessed in a single mankind then it increases the effect hundred fold.
