How post-COVID fear is proving that thought leaders may soon be in short supply.

Thinking Clearly

If there’s one thing that has proven to be in desperately short supply these past few months, it’s leadership.

That’s not to say that those leaders we do have aren’t doing everything they can to forge a path forward that makes the best of this terrible situation.

But rather that there simply aren’t enough thought leaders getting their voice out there and helping to supplement the guidance given by governments and other such authorities.

This is a systemic problem that has reared its ugly head many times in past, however this time it’s different.

Because the means by which the thought leaders spread their knowledge has been placed under threat by COVID-19.

Once upon a time, we packed into a crowded auditorium or lecture space to hear bright minds and inspirational speakers share their experience as well as their thoughts. Now social distancing and other such laws have made this impossible.

Because of this, we’re staring down the barrel of a future where thought leadership is unable to reach those who need it most and this is a worrying prospect for us all.
