How to Measure Cultural and Executive Candor to Build Trust and Strengthen Competitive Advantages
In this Soundview Live webinar, Executive Advisor and Investment Banker L.J. Rittenhouse introduces a revolutionary method for evaluating and predicting corporate success and failure. She will present her long research to show how analyzing words and financial accounting are each critical to assess the health of corporate cultures and leadership.
Participants will learn to define candor to become more effective leaders. Rittenhouse will show that Candor leads directly to the bottom line and supports her research findings from coding and scoring communications and correlating scores with market performance.
Business case studies will show how to quantify the amount of F.O.G. in your company’s internal and external communication. You will gain access to candor best practices which illustrate powerful authenticity, accountability and empathy: qualities that are critical to building relational and social capital.
Rittenhouse’s approach for recognizing at-risk businesses predicted the collapse of Enron, Lehman Brothers and the dangers of investing in AIG, Wachovia, Merrill Lynch and General Motors – even as the financial community and media was recommending “Buy.”
