Seven Personal Branding Actions

In this episode I want to share with you seven actions that impact your brand. Details are found on the podcast audio.

1. Care – Do you care about others? This is your ultimate mission.
2. Mission – Do you know the mission and vision of your organization? Not just the stated mission printed on company literature, but the real mission the leaders live.
3. Mission fit – How do you fit into the mission of your organization?
4. Define your customers – Do you know them? For details on how to do this, see Company of One Overview.
5. Seek input – Go ask your customers how you are doing. See Company of One Overview for details.
6. Be direct – When you have an issue, be direct and up front. This avoids gossip and misunderstandings. Others respect directness.
7. Know their name – Learn people’s names and use them. I think we all struggle here. I know I do.
