Question : As a MM how can you create or repair your reputation?

[Warrior74]

Here is a question I have. I know people who have reinvented themselves but mainly through either leaving, going ghost for a while or by gaining fame/notoriety. What other ways are there to change your reputation?

I think if you are looking to repair any damage, the best would be to not walk away from the problem or go ghost, but to work with whoever you offended and at least show that you are making an honest effort to repair your reputation.

What specifically did you do wrong?

This question isn't really specific about me. I'm actually thinking about a coworker who basically ruined his reputation at work. I notice that the perception vs reality in the workplace about him is completely off. He's my supervisor and he's leaving and they are thinking about giving me his position. I'm really just curious as to how someone with a sullied reputation can turn it around or if it's even possible to do so. As for me, I enjoy a pretty decent rep in the workplace, except sometimes my temper can get the better of me.

yes, you do have a temper.

Mellow it out and you'll be right in tune.

Wanton ignorance pisses me off. Unfortunately it's usually from the sales people who are all female and think the rest of us exist to serve their whims. They are some of the dumbest people in the building but they bring in the bank so their shenanigans and attitudes are tolerated.

Not a bad idea. Good stuff.

Meh, I spent a long time with one social group trying to repair my reputation, but was eventually forced out anyway. In hindsight, it was obvious that the members of the group were determined to see me in a bad light regardless of what I did, so sometimes it is better to not hang around and fight it. I did find that having objective proof of status, such as organising big events or holding high positions in respected organisations sometimes offsets bad impressions others may have of you.

In what manner was your supervisor's reputation sullied?

The method is dependent on the type of reputation you're trying to attain and leave behind.

It's quite simple. If people need a reason to use you or find you useful then your reputation will magically come back. It's all about cost, benefit and risk....
