A.
I consider Rob Kramer a thought leader, because he thoroughly understands what our society and single individuals strive for when he creates new ideas.
Here is a link that gives an example of what he has created from being an entrepreneur, futurist, and thinker. His whole entire career motto is having the willingness to embrace change and do better for others.

B.
Thought leadership means that a person sets goals, understands and communicates within the organization as a whole, while also showing a passion and creativity within their expertise.
Some actions that I will want to take to become a leader in this area:
-Being able to engage inside and outside of organization/company/etc.
-Being completely invested to org/co/etc.
-Proactively establish myself in positive light
Some things I do not want to do:
-Creating a project, thinking it was a wonderful idea, and the actual goal is not being achieved. Basically, not being able to reach the publics about the certain objectives the company wanted. -Not having content for the appropriate cause.
-Not being able to devote my time into my work and into projects that I’ll create.
