'Are you trying to build buzz, but don’t have the cash to launch a full-fledged PR campaign? Hack it. I emphasize that the best PR you can build is through satisfied customers with high Net Promoter scores.

'by Charlotte Benedict. Just over a decade ago, choosing to attend an online university might have meant having to explain to employers that your degree was just as legitimate as one earned on a traditional campus.

It’s time that you get very clear on what it costs you to earn your money, because all dollars are not created equally.

More often than not, businesses chose to take the latter approach since there were no consequences one way or the other.

To me being authentic means being trustworthy, being able to be relied on, being genuine, etc. It’s a pretty great word, actually. I’m not sure its a prerequisite of good leadership, but it’s a great attribute for a leader to have (or anyone for that matter).
