In the Last 12 Months, Americans Have Lost Confidence in
“The Leadership Class.”
Now I’d like to read you a short list of institutions and groups of people. For each one, please tell me, compared to twelve months ago, whether you are more confident or less confident that they are making good financial and economic choices on decisions that affect your personal financial situation?

Forgetting the lessons of the past ruined the banking business… but, it was ignoring the new ways people communicate (chat boards, social
websites) and the expanding importance of indirect stakeholders (NGOs, activists) that truly damaged
their reputations.
And, yes, it will prove costly.

Why reputation matters is now clear
More regulationMore legislationHigher cost of doing business (legal, etc.)Higher turnover, inability to recruit (pay) top
executivesHigher hurdles to winning new businessLower share price, valuation compared to peersLower productivity (focused on unrelated
concerns)Lower barriers to entry for competitors

Backlash – reputation suffers…again
“There are a lot of small businesses, creditworthy businesses around this country,
who still can’t get the capital they need to grow, which is important for our economy, and you’ve
seen these same institutions spend tens of millions of dollars lobbying the Congress to try
and stop financial regulatory reform.”
“They have a responsibility to be part of the solution, not being the
obstacle.”
“Part of what we're going to need is for
the folks on Wall Street who are
asking for help to show some
restraint, and show some discipline, and show some sense of
responsibility."

Actions, Not Spin, Can Help Recovery
Remorse – humility helpsEngage influencers (NGOs, online communities)Compensation – restructuring rewards, incentivesOppose one (any) industry position – show leadershipValues – highlight culture, not CEOEmbrace two-way dialogue (regulators, legislators)Reputation – consider repercussions early, oftenYou’re not alone – web-based participatory media is
watching and shaping perceptions (i.e. reputation)
