“Nothing has been as instructive in exploring the notion of authenticity as relearning the work of the great philosophers Aristotle and Plato. We are struck by their applicability to our work as we help companies and people develop their brands. Why do these early philosophers have so much to say that is helpful to modern marketers? We believe it is because they were focused on the fundamental issues of authenticity that we all face: Who are we? Why are we? How should we behave? Asking these questions encourages us to deepen our self-awareness. In particular, this issue of “who are we?” is critical. Knowing who we are is the key to elevating our capacities and performance.” AuthenticityBrandsQuotes About LifePlatoRelevanceAristotleMatter MoreQuotes To Make You ThinkQuotes To InspireGreek Philosophers Author:Tom Hayes

It’s as if they live in Opposite Land. If their service is wretched, they tell people that they are great at service. If they are selling a mediocre car, they expound on its hip sportiness. Claiming that you are what you are not will obscure the strengths you do have while destroying your credibility. It’s a lose-lose proposition. In order to hunt down and accurately tag authenticity, we must first pop the balloon of self-delusion.” ServiceQuotes About LifeCredibilityRelevanceAuthenticBrandSelf DelusionMatter MoreQuotes To Make You ThinkAccurate ObservationsOpposite LandSelf DelusionsAuthentic Strengths Author:Tom Hayes
