7. Focus On Building Trust

It’s important to remember a brand’s reputation results from a collective culture, not a single person. Brand values are best represented by the actions of employees and their pride in the company’s culture. During a leadership change, build trust through transparency and open your doors to celebrate the employees, culture and the leader’s legacy that will remain intact. – Katie Schibler Conn, KSA Marketing + Partnerships
