Media for The Thought Leadership Handbook

“An effective guidebook for turning pioneering ideas into meaningful change.”

Kirkus Reviews

“Synthesizing examples from across the business world, Bill Sherman, Peter Winick, and Naren Aryal’s searching business guide The Thought Leadership Handbook introduces thought leadership as a discipline and a practice.”

Foreword Clarion Reviews

“The book’s best argument is structural. Sherman and Winick spent twenty years running Thought Leadership Leverage and conducting over 700 podcast interviews. They’ve organized their observations into a framework: core idea, content library, market offerings, platform identity. None of these concepts is radical alone, but the authors make a useful case for why all four must work together, and why failure in one corrupts the others.”
