This post focuses on reputational risks incurred by businesses and/or leadership rising from nefariously inclined – performative shouters, shouts, and shouting that include bludgeoning claims of conspiratorial induced motives, associations, alliances, coverups, and/or revelations of illicit behavior.
‘We are in weird space wherein there is (a.) self-interpreted perceptions of evidentiary realism, (b.) an absence of trust in and respect for differing facts, truths, and realities, which are (c.) frequently eclipsed or replaced by realities’ (attributed to Dr. James Shanahan).
The ‘reputation – brand’ of a business leader, a business, an institution, and/or a product, or service, etc., is and should be treated as an intangible asset.
Imprudent (business) risk taking and/or mistake making, can rapidly translate as entrées and/or opportunities for the nefarious to exploit.
Taking risks and learning from failures are not universal preludes to business success.
Risk taking and materialization of business risk should align.
