Thought Leadership Writing
A two-phase workflow for creating high-quality thought leadership articles: research/validation followed by strategic writing. Use when exploring a book, concept, or trend and connecting it to your expertise.
Phase 1: Research & Validation
Mission
Conduct thorough research and provide verified, cited information before writing begins. Accuracy is paramount — every claim, quote, and reference must be verifiable.
Critical Research Principles
- Cite Everything: Provide URLs, page numbers, or specific sources for all information
- Flag Uncertainty: If you cannot verify something, explicitly state "Cannot verify" or "Paraphrased concept - not direct quote"
- Distinguish Direct Quotes from Summaries: Make clear what is verbatim vs. interpretation
- Confidence Levels: Rate each piece of information:
- Verified: Found direct source
