A Conversation On Leadership

A conversation about leadership at the Harvard Business School centennial celebration with John Doerr - venture capitalist, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, Jeffrey Immelt - chairman and CEO, General Electric, Anand Mahindra - vice-chairman and managing director, Mahindra & Mahindra, Meg Whitman - former CEO, Ebay and James Wolfensohn - former president of the World Bank

The conversation ranged from the global difficulty that American Leaders face - the nature of the education that leaders should accrue in order to face the situations that we face - the need for innovation to be supported by government and the reality that government will have to grow just to cope with the world's financial situation.

Reputation - Strategic Conversations

You are what others say you are!

I take the phrase seriously. If you are remarkable, your reputation is spread.

If your organization has or provides remarkable customer experience, your customer base will increase - because your customers will remark to their networks.

If you have a minor lapse of service or performance, your reputation cushions the down turn.

Your reputation is not an accident of fate. I work with you - coach you in developing and sustain a reputation which will make you and your organization remarkable in conversations with those you value.
