“The problem in most companies is that the people out there in the company, who are supposed to perform numerous processes, internally as well as externally, including interaction with other stakeholders; such as customers, investors and suppliers, have only vague ideas of the company business strategy. Branding is a simple way to bridge this communication gap in a company.”

“This is what our company stands for and this is what I stand for as one of the leaders of this company. As you can see, it’s linked together and proven by action”.

“We define effective leadership for a firm by asking: What would customers want this firm to be known for? What do our leaders need to know, do and deliver to make that customer-desired identity happen?”

“What we mean by firm brand: How want this company their target customers to describe them.”

“All you have to do is to go to your best customer and you listen to them: What are the sort of things that you want this firm to be good in doing?”

“Based on that external view we build a leadership model consistent with customer expectations.”

“How do you make it happen? You make a good distinct statement of what your leadership brand should be, your assess people against it, then you invest in it. And the investment is to say how we put money, budget, resources against building that leadership brand. That might include training.”
