Good to be home from traveling around Asia Pacific the past couple of weeks talking about Reputation Warfare.  So am now back on the blog posting trail. Two things struck me this week although I will make sure to write more about some of my observations about reputation in Asia in the weeks to come. Just to start out, while I was away, Barron's World's Best CEO list came out.  This highly coveted and selective list usually has a theme in addition to its traditional focus on longterm financial performance.  As they say, they like to  identify corporate leaders who make a difference to their companies and deliver for investors. Barron's require that a CEO has been at the job for at least three years and prefers companies with market values of at least $5 billion. This year their advice to leaders is "Go Thee to Asia."

"Any big company looking for serious growth in the 21st century must have a plan for Asia. The region is home to half the globe's population and, increasingly, it's driving the world's economy. So, as Barron's drew up its annual list of the world's 30 best chief executives, we took a hard look at how each candidate was approaching Asia and other developing markets."

On another note, this morning while waking up super early from jet lag crazies, I read about the Warren Buffet-Berkshire Hathaway reputation bruise.  In a New York Times article, it says: 

 "In a July 2010 letter, Mr. Buffett instructed his managers to “zealously guard Berkshire’s reputation.”

“We can afford to lose money — even a lot of money,” Mr. Buffett said. “But we can’t afford to lose reputation — even a shred of reputation.”

These Buffett quotes don't surprise me and neither does the removal of Mr. Sokol. When I turn to my favorite quote of all time from the sage/oracle from Omaha, it appears he acted swiftly and deliberately. In case you have never heard me say it, it is quite appropriate today. 

"If you lose dollars for the firm by bad decisions, I will be understanding.  If you lose reputation for the firm, I will be ruthless."

(Somehow I don’t think Tiger Woods took this test.)  In our social media guidelines for employees at Weber Shandwick, Indianapolis, Indiana, San Francisco, California, Buy Ibuprofen from canada, we have a more intuitive but equally important test.

In recent weeks as executive bonuses have become the talk of the town, where can i find Ibuprofen online, Ibuprofen for sale, a new test was suggested by David Wessel in one of his columns for the Wall Street Journal.  He quoted Britain’s finance minister, Alistair Darling (I always think of the Darlings from Peter Pan when I hear his name) who remarked at a WSJ Future of Finance conference in London packed with financiers that “you have to pass the next-door neighbor test, buy Ibuprofen online no prescription. Ibuprofen price, You have to be able to look at your next-door neighbor and justify what you are doing.”  Wessel’s commentary on this new test was right on the money: “And many of them cannot. Buy Ibuprofen Without Prescription, They cannot even explain what they do. They promise better ‘risk management, 5mg, 50mg, 75mg, 100mg, Comprar en línea Ibuprofen, comprar Ibuprofen baratos, ’ but to many of their neighbors the past few years were all risk, no management.” All risk and no management....I love that, online buy Ibuprofen without a prescription.

I would have changed the Darling test question to something along the lines that if you can explain to your neighbor why you should get a bonus in the millions when the economy is failing, unemployment is high and public outrage is off the charts, rx free Ibuprofen, Nashville-Davidson, Tennessee.
