Tips for Recovering a Lost Reputation

* Explain the situation by being honest and thorough;
* Push to use all communication channels and seek two-way communication;
* If you are cleared of wrongdoing, make a public statement proclaiming your innocence;
* If you are implicated, immediately apology and offer to make amends;
* Educate your employees, vendors, and friends; give them tools to help spread your message;
* Seek public support by explaining and meeting with advocates as well as detractors; and,
* Prepare to wait for results – patience is a virtue

Once these things are done, you can concentrate on auxiliary tactics to enhance your reputation. Become involved in charity and community service opportunities. Present a professional demeanor, continue to communicate and listen to your publics; they can guide you toward recovery.
