           Brian Cronkhite – August 4, 2010
“A good name is better than riches.”
-- Don Quixote
Reputation is shaped by perceptions
•   They are formed by what people know, see, hear, read and experience
•   They determine how people think and feel — and, therefore, how they
    behave
•   Perception = reality

“It takes 20 years to build a reputation
and five minutes to ruin it.”
-- Warren Buffet
