You might be a thought leader but you are probably not a thought leader if your boss is telling you what your opinion is.
Having thought leader in a job title is nice but that doesn’t make you a thought leader but it is alright because anyone can call himself a thought leader.
Having thoughts and being a leader might make you a thought leader even if no one calls you a thought leader but you might want to ask your boss just in case.
That is all I got, which is why I am not a thought leader.
