This document discusses how to effectively manage your reputation to influence success in business. It defines reputation as the estimation or opinion others commonly hold of you, based on what you say and do and how you are perceived. Having an "attractive" reputation is important because it precedes you and allows others to assess you without direct interaction. To influence your reputation positively, you should examine your behaviors and ensure they are congruent with how you want to be perceived, making changes where needed in an authentic way. Managing your reputation through integrity and leadership behaviors allows you to attract the opportunities and circumstances you want.
