Regard your name as the richest jewel you can possibly be possessed of. The way to gain a good reputation is to endeavor to be what you desire to appear. -Socrates
Your personal brand is your visual resume. A strong personal brand or reputation is not the only factor driving success but it certainly is one of the most important. Like an asset, you own your reputation. It means that you can manage and shape it consciously. You can decide how you present yourself, how you choose to behave, communicate and as a result, how others connect with you. Gone are the days when power of money and manipulation ruled success arenas. Right now, we are living in the world where every action, every word comes under scanner; it can make or break business revenue and reputation. People are curious to know about the human faces who represent the organization; who are thought leaders behind every innovation in each field. This asset called brand, can be exchanged for rewards in our professional and social life. In fact, in many ways this asset:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Opens doors of opportunities
\u2022 Arrives before you do & ensures a warm welcome
\u2022 Speeds up friendship
\u2022 Creates partnership and supports teamwork
\u2022 Encourages trust
\u2022 Makes praise more genuine
\u2022 Gets your ideas across
\u2022 Convinces & Sells<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
When you meet someone, s\/he creates an opinion about you. As a prehistoric survival mechanism, the human brain is hardwired to make assumptions based on what we see. Much before people know about your strengths, they decide about you based on your presence. In any field or leadership in business, success is built on power of character. It comes from within. Hence, it is interesting to see how we all reflect an image epitomizing our personality, values, characteristics, integrity & beliefs.
Individuals & Organisations
When the companies interview candidates for hiring or promotion, the screening and selection procedure has much more focus on character. Every member on a team is an individual and helps shape company\u2019s reputation. The way each behaves is a reflection of the entire organisation and vice versa. There is a thin line between reputation of an individual and reputation of an organisation where the individual works. Employees and leaderships are the face of the organisation and they make these two types of reputations closely aligned and co-dependent. You must be aware that whenever you create a working relationship with an organisation, the circle of that organisation\u2019s reputation expands to include you.
Following points will help you maintain your personal reputation through character building
\u2022 Believe in YOU so that others can
\u2022 Knowing from situations and challenges -what character trait helps us fight & win
\u2022 Adopt a perspective that your current work environment is essential learning experience
\u2022 Identify the people, teams, organisation that resonate with your values & goals
\u2022 Identify the people, teams, organisations that you want to create impact on
\u2022 Be aware that your character is revealed by your commitment to success and determination
\u2022 People around you may not ask but are always curious to know your values like respect for others & integrity when you interact with them
\u2022 Your actions reveal what defines you as an individual as well as the position you hold in organisation
\u2022 List down the incidents that made you who you are today
\u2022 Make a list of people who have influence on your career\/profession\/values
\u2022 Make a list of people who will be around you to admire\/observe your character
\u2022 What lessons have you learnt from interactions with your idols\/mentors
\u2022 Are these lessons still applicable to you?
\u2022 Are you sharing these lessons with others?
\u2022 What values are important to you and why
\u2022 Are these values reflecting from your presence-behaviour and communication?
\u2022 How easily you appreciate someone and how do you take a compliment
\u2022 How easily you can trust others as well as delegate tasks to others
\u2022 How well do you listen to others and ask them \u201cwhy\u201d and \u201chow\u201d to understand their story
\u2022 How you behave in challenging situations and how do you expect others to behave
\u2022 How do you empower and motivate people around you when it comes to aligning organisational goals
\u2022 Plan a personal action review periodically \u2013 How you behaved\/acted\/reacted recently and what impact it may have created
\u2022 Write down result of this review- what can be improved and why; what can be continued and what can you stop doing
\u2022 Be open to feedback from others as well<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Reputation is about knowing ourselves fully and showing our values to others around us. When we understand ourselves, we begin to understand how we are perceived by others. We also must understand that all around us may not agree with us but it is important to be authentic; to be true to ourselves while creating conscious perceptions.
I wish you a splendid reputation with influence, sophistication and confidence in business and in social life.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
