President Bush made headlines when he inadvertently used a colorful expletive about Hezbollah during what he assumed was a private conversation with British Prime Minister Tony Blair. They were at a G8 summit lunch, speaking candidly about the situation in Israel, not realizing an open mic captured their words.
Bush remarked, "someone needs to tell Hezbollah to stop that s--t." The conversation is currently available on CNN.com. This isn’t the first time Bush has been caught by a hot mic; he once referred to a reporter as "an a-----e" in a private chat with Cheney.
While this incident won't derail his political career or impact the stock market, it highlights a crucial lesson: public actions can affect your reputation and business, even when you think no one is listening.
Consider a business owner I know who was overheard criticizing a magazine in a restaurant. Unbeknownst to her, the publisher was sitting nearby and confronted her directly. Needless to say, she lost any chance of favorable publicity from him.
Do you operate a corporate vehicle with your business name on it? Drive and park responsibly. Have employees wear jackets with your logo? Ensure they behave well in public.
My attorney shared a valuable "email test" with me: before sending an email, imagine it displayed poster-size in front of a jury. If you're still comfortable, hit send.
By being mindful of your public actions and communications, you can protect and enhance your business reputation.
