Bloggy Question 57: Excuse Me, Thought Leader

July 29, 2007 by Liz

Get Your Own Ideas!

For those who come looking for a short, thoughtful read, a blogging life discussion, or a way to gradually ease back into the week. I offer this bloggy life question. . . .


On a recent business trip, you were in the bookstore at a small airport. You bought a business book that’s 7 or 8 years old.

You read it on the airplane home, and it sounded strangely familiar. When you got home, you almost forgot until this morning when you went to visit a colleague’s blog. Suddenly, you knew where her ideas were coming from. She has been writing her way, idea for idea, right through the old book you bought.

It seems she forgot to mention that to her readers. Instead her blog carries the tagline “Writings of a thought leader.”

How do you respond?
