Reputation management

04/04/2012 /

More on Diplocalendar 2012 that explores in both a serious and lighthearted way, some elements of interpersonal relationships and management that can help in daily activities.
The subject for the month of April is Reputation.
“Reputation differs from credibility. It deals with the perception of others, built over a long time. A person may have a ‘good’ reputation for being inspiring, or a ‘bad’ reputation as someone to be feared. Reputations can travel far without us ever moving.
