Mr Shadow



“Reputation is 'the result of what you do, what you say, and what other people say about you'.
- Wikipedia

What does having a reputation mean? A permanent shadow?

A good reputation stands for honesty, integrity and trustworthiness.
Reputation builds trust. If clients have trust in your company they are customers for life.
How do you build a good reputation?

At Ambitionblog we strife to focus on the following:

• To prioritize effectively (50%)
• To execute effectively (50%)

To prioritize effectively means sorting the relevant from the irrelevant.

Relevant priorities need to be tackled with passion and determination. This will ensure efficient execution.

Building a good reputation makes looking back at your shadow easy!

  1. A reputation traditionally meant something positive, that is to say something that represented character, honesty and integrity.

    However in modern times it is also associated with concepts such as celebrity and notoriety. Qualities far removed from the good old fashioned values.

    In SA the tendency is rather for the negative than the positive. Witness our politics where honesty is the least admired quality likely to be voted for by uneducated voters. In our corporate sector god-fearing well-educated directors are party to collusion and price-fixing of basic essentials as bread and milk

    We still deal with these companies," household names", ignoring the fact that they have ripped us, the consumer off.

    What price reputation if we as individual's choose consciously to deal with and vote for cheats, liars and crooks?

    As Edmund Burke once said "Evil flourishes when good men do nothing" - choose good! Shaun

  2. Hi Shaun

    Another good comment from the Shaun/Deirdre household. We, at Ambitionblog.com hopes that our site will enable employers to "see" more, learn more about candidates. The good (people with a reputation - Edmund Burke's good people) must be recognised through our site.
