Reputation loss — the new scarlet letter
I feel like I have read this article before. The title in USA Today yesterday was “CEOs stumble over ethics violations, mismanagement.” Is it 2002 over again when Enron, WorldCom and Adelphia made headlines over ethical transgressions and wrongdoing? I agree that there seems to be a rush of these events recently but I am not...
Self-inflicted reputational damage…
I don’t even have to do the math to figure this out. The increase in mentions about Jamie Dimon’s reputation is astronomical. Last year on May 14, there were nine mentions of Jamie Dimon with the word reputation. Fast forward one year and there are 3,160 mentions just today. The articles all have a similar ring...
Reputation Rankings Season Neverending
I was thinking about my blog post this morning and figured I would write about the end of the reputation rankings season. It felt like the many reputation rankings that get released in the first couple of months of the year were coming to an end. However, in my google alerts, I found a new...
CEO reputation still going strong
Years ago at my former job, the research we did caught fire due to one simple finding. In fact, I used to think of myself as the 50 percent woman. Our research on CEO reputation revealed that 50 percent of a company’s reputation was attributable to the CEO. For some reason, this one simple factoid...
No small change–CEO & Exec Communications
Another exciting day (despite the clouds and threatening rain here in NY). Weber Shandwick’s research was covered in today’s WSJ. B8. In the print edition. Can’t send you a link (although here is one if you can get in) to the online version since you have to subscribe! But you can get all the relevant...
Executive MBAs — Reputation No Go
Just came across some research from ReputationInc that holds some very interesting information. Here are the main facts they discovered by examining the curriculums of the leading Executive MBA programs identified by the Financial Times. They were looking to see how reputation was incorporated into the course work. • 1 in 5 leading EMBA...
Reputation matters to consumers too
I agree wholeheartedly. Goldman Sachs’ CEO Lloyd Blankfein on public opinion and reputation of Goldman Sachs: “I think the average American probably had no contact and had never heard of Goldman Sachs before three years ago. Shame on us in a way for not anticipating how important that would be. We’re an institutional business...

The Power of Reputation. Chris Komisarjevsky’s new book, The Power of Reputation: Strengthen the Asset that Will Make or Break Your Career, is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding how to steer their reputation into a career worth having. Chris provides practical, easy-to-apply advice, techniques, tips and best practices on how to build that...
GO corporate brand
P&G is announcing its new corporate campaign that is a “global serenade to mothers.” It is covered in an article today. The reason this is big news to me (and I am not an Olympian’s mother) is that it is part of the P&G initiative to focus on the corporate brand behind the products they...
Reputation restoration takes time
Although I made a wholehearted attempt not to work on Sunday, I could not pass up musing on an article I read on Walmart’s new partnership with the Environmental Defense Fund and a few stats on reputation recovery. Thought I could post it today. When companies ask how long it takes to recover and restore reputation,...
Pinterest on reputation – not so much
Thought I would check out Pinterest and see if anyone was posting on reputation or CEO reputation. Why am I not surprised that the pickings are slim. Pinterest is not exactly the place where people want to pin interesting items and favorite photos or sayings on reputational matters or CEO quotes. But I had to...
