December 17th 2007 09:40
"What should you do when your reputation takes a major hit?" The answer :: "Don't hide, deny, dissemble or fake the truth. Above all, don't lie. Face the facts. Speak immediately and frankly. Nothing disarms your critics as being totally candid and quietly correcting whatever went wrong."
The above quotes are from the book entitled, "Integrity Is All You've Got," an insightful guide for entrepreneurs about selling, creativity, hammering out win-win formulas, opportunity seeking, making connections, the joy of giving and success because of integrity.
The author, Karl Eller, has lived integrity first before talking about it : "I've been around long enough to confirm that integrity is key to business life and success. Integrity is what allows you and me to trust each other. Without it, we begin suspecting and then fearing each other, and soon bad things happen." While the author devotes an entire discussion titled "Integrity is your only collateral," he dishes out words of wisdom on succeeding as an entrepreneur.
For salesmen, he has a brilliant one-liner: "Love selling and sell what you love."
For CEOS who think they can take over any company, even in a different industry and erroneously think they can succeed : "If you're going to take over a business, you had best arrive with a real understanding of what makes it work."
For the entrepreneurs , he quote his friend, Mort Feinberg, he writes : "You need to keep running, so that when the train comes by you're ready to jump on. If you keep missing the train, you have no one but yourself to blame."
