Managing corporate reputation is a must have, not a nice to have. The current context requires companies to carefully manage their reputation as stakeholders are more connected, distrustful of institutions, and rely more on word-of-mouth recommendations. Research shows that highly reputable companies fare better in crises and recover more quickly as they enjoy greater trust. Reputation is based on perceptions of a company's past actions and future expectations compared to competitors. To build a strong reputation, managers must measure stakeholders' perceptions, align messaging and activities with reality, and choose a reputational model to track performance over time.Chapter 15 Whats makes aleader 2-8-2024.ppt

Companies get ‘stuck in neutral’ for a reason. Most of the time it is a market problem versus a ‘people’ problem. Breaking out of the rut, however, takes courage and decisive action. This presentation is an overview of three part strategy for getting your revenue growth back in gear.
