EDITORIAL REVIEW

Praise For Corporate Reputation: 12 Steps to Safeguarding and Recovering Reputation

"In a sea of business books, Corporate Reputation is a beacon of light for all leaders and future leaders looking for direction in the treacherous waters of a volatile business environment. It delivers a message that's provocative, insightful, and needs to be heard."
—Heidi Henkel Sinclair, Director of Communications, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation

"Every CEO, senior executive, and, increasingly, board member now appreciates the importance of building and protecting a company's reputation. Anyone who depends upon or shapes a company's reputation—customers, employees, news media, NGOs, and bloggers—will benefit from reading Dr. Gaines-Ross's book and will learn more about the influence they wield over corporate reputations."
—Dr. Robert G. Eccles, Senior Lecturer, Harvard Business School

"At a time when companies are facing unprecedented reputation crises comes a timely primer from Dr. Gaines-Ross that tells us what companies need to do to bring their reputations back from the brink. The book's 12-step reputation recovery model captures what we know about effective crisis management, and brings the process to life with a host of detailed case examples. It's right on the mark!"
—Dr. Charles Fombrun, CEO, Reputation Institute

"Finally, a book that clearly, realistically, and compellingly explains how companies of all types and sizes can protect and restore an invaluable company asset—corporate reputation. Brilliant insights and practical solutions leap from each page! A definite must-read for business professionals everywhere."
—Anthony Sardella, CEO, Evolve24 and Adjunct Professor at the Olin School of Business, Washington University in St. Louis

ABOUT THIS BOOK

USER REVIEWS

How to enhance, protect and recover your corporate reputation
~ Written on Sep 16, 2008. out of users found this review helpful.

Image makes up some 63% of the value of most corporations. This raises the soft practice of building and maintaining a company's reputation to the level of an executive concern. Author Leslie Gaines-Ross provides a solid education about strategies for developing, sustaining and repairing corporate reputations. While she does not significantly advance the field with sharp new insights, she does offer more recent, pertinent research. She also buttresses her findings with useful case studies. getAbstract recommends this solid overview of an important topic to corporate marketing and public-relations students and specialists.

Every CEO should buy this book
~ Written on Apr 3, 2008. out of users found this review helpful.

The book is a must read for any company executive facing a corporate crisis-or is smart enough to realize that pretty much every company faces a reputation crisis at some point.

The book is an easy read and, as the title suggests, the repair process is divided up into 12 different steps. My favorites being "Step 1: Take the Heat-Leader First" and "Step 8: Seize the Shift." The latter explaining how corporate crises can often be linked back to shifts in business climate that leaders failed to see or ignored.

Drawing on her work with Weber Shandwick, and citing numerous case studies (IBM, BP, Xerox, Tyco, and Boeing), Gaines Ross does an excellent job with Corporate Reputation.

In summary; no CEO should be handed the reigns of a company, until they've read all 160 pages of this brilliant book.

This is the one to buy...

I picked up Dr. Gaines-Ross' newest book because my job requires that I stay on top of new developments in the reputation arena. I agree with her statement that recovering reputation is many more times harder than building reputation. For anyone interested in the shifting sands of traditional and online reputation management, this is the one to buy.

Efficient Guide to Complex Topic

From a 25-year career of counseling corporate leaders, researching and writing on corporate reputation, Leslie Gaines-Ross has synthesized her findings into just 12 steps and shared them with us in "Corporate Reputation: 12 Steps to Safeguarding and Recovering Reputation." It's still a big job for any company, but her book provides a helpful guide.
