Our starting point for optimal advocacy is reputation. It is more vital than ever for companies in heavily regulated sectors of the economy, where missteps can have immediate and more lasting impacts. Regulators and politicians target perceived mistakes by companies or in some cases choose to target companies with poor reputations, embroiling leadership in costly and distracting processes, and ultimately ending up with regulatory action that undermines profitability.
In short, not actively managing and growing reputation leaves potential shareholder value on the table and leaves companies and shareholder value at risk of one-tine or lasting hits.
