How can I get a job in "thought leadership"?

so basically they changed titles, kept same jobs.

At first I thought this might be a link to the stockholders of Hewlett-Packard suing the Board of Directors for giving their former CEO hundreds of millions in cash-out when he jumped ship to Oracle.

And then I realized we were going to talk about non-news instead.

"Thought Leadership" is another word for "fake PR" and "pre-announcing to cut your competitors off at the knees while doing nothing".

From Eric Schmidt's statement: "Larry, in my clear opinion, is ready to lead. Sergey has decided to devote his time and energy to strategic projects"

I believe this translates to: "Sergey has a lot of shares, so we got him some really cool legos that will hopefully keep him busy and away from all decisions."

@4, don't forget the part that translates to "we've found a way to make all Sergey's private jet travel tax-deductible for him".
