'Last week, a solo-consultant I work with told me he did everything “wrong” in a client meeting but walked away with a $75,000 project.

He had a great offering that his client wanted.

'Happy New Year! 2014 was an eventful year, especially when it came to crises of all different sizes and scales. But let’s not be fooled. 2014 is officially behind us, but the risks and threats that leave every organization open to destruction are not. In fact, as we saw with the Sony crisis in December, these risks and threats are only bound to grow – as are today’s crisis management challenges.

'The problem with being a social climber is that you erode your base of support. Your customers or boss may love you, but if you actively disdain your subordinates, employees, suppliers and other members of the community, you will erode over time the foundation upon which future success can be reliably built. All stakeholders have value, not just the ones who can reward you most immediately with money, praise and recognition.

But your brand is a story, a set of emotions and expectations and a stand-in for how we think and feel about what you do. Nike spent $250 to buy a swoosh. Probably a little more than they needed to.
