Reputation is everything
A dictionary will tell you that reputation is “an overall quality or character as seen or judged by people in general and a place in public esteem or regard; a good name.”
Reputation is not what you think about yourself, it is what others are saying about you. It might be based on fact, it might not.
Abraham Lincoln once said: “Character is like a tree and reputation like a shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.”
Trust is a key component of any reputation. Stakeholders demand authenticity, credibility and honesty.
