“Thought leader is business jargon for an entity that is recognized by peers for having innovative ideas. Thought leaders often publish articles and blog posts on trends and topics influencing an industry.” — Wikipedia (Yes, I gander the wiki once in a while.)
Assuming that thought leaders actually take the time to Tweet and assuming that I’m smart enough to recognize one when I see one, here’s my list of HR Thought Leaders who Tweet. These folks have something interesting to say, find the best links on the net and share great infographics, white papers and statistics. Together we are starting a new HR society. Join us!
