Thanks to
Stefan Liute, I came across a great post today on the Whisper blog,
‘The CEO Role in Building Brand Equity’. It doesn’t matter about the
CEO’s
personality: what matters is
focus.
It’s a good thing to remember next time someone obsesses about
quarterly results on
Wall Street. One should ask: is the
brand unique and is it truly being fulfilled? Are the right products or services being successfully produced for the
market? Not: what
downsizing and cuts have they made to better my stock? Or: how
charismatic is the boss so he can tell us what we want to hear?
Sometimes, the rest of us need to focus, too, on what we need from the world’s leading
corporations, and I vote long-term and world-bettering developments over short-term gains.
The same might apply in
politics. I bet there are a lot more
Britons thinking positively about Sir
John Major these days.
