Lenovo Exec Raves About Radically Transparent

March 8, 2008 – 12:21 pm
One of the many people that we interviewed for Radically Transparent is Lenovo's David Churbuck. His transparency in answering our questions helped make for some excellent corporate advice for the book. Churbuck has now read Radically Transparent, and gives it a glowing endorsement: "This is a very good book because it’s grounded in a ton of hard leg work and case study research — not hand waving theory with the usual Hallmark platitudes about authentic conversation stuff. Andy and his co-author Judy Strauss are not pushing a theoretical agenda — this isn’t one of those detestable business books that repeat the summary on the back cover blurb a hundred times." If you've ever read Churbuck's blog, you'll know that he's not afraid to speak his mind--so, we're excited that he's a fan of the book. Thanks David!

>>Like this post? Buy Radically Transparent and get lots more online reputation management advice!<< When you first discover an attack on your online reputation, it can be an unnerving event. If you’ve previously conducted your business oblivious to the online discussions about your brand, it can feel like a kick to the ribs to see someone wage an attack on your good name. When it happens, it's important not to hit the panic button. If great companies such as Target and Jet Blue can come under fire, then it can happen to anyone. What's important is how you react. For an example of how not to react, you need look no further than Target--which was recently criticized by a blogger over one of its ad campaigns.
