The definition of thought leadership to us isn’t just the propensity to throw up ideas and concepts for better governance in fancy speeches or press sessions. It is the ability and courage to pursue lowly creative paths and implementation of agendas that have direct impact on the populace, even when they do not cut on the ‘politically correct’ front of governance. We believe thought leadership in governance is the effort and courage to uniquely define the challenges and expectations of your own people, brilliantly define the best ways to overcome and meet them, and boldly expressing the conviction of your pursuit regardless of the opinion of the political class and the popular media construct of within-the-box executables of some political offices.
