Chajet, Chairman and CEO of Lippincott & Margulies, is a top image consultant who helped create and shape the images of such corporations as Coca-Cola, Chrysler, and American Express. In this book, he discusses his efforts to communicate verbally and visually the vision, goals, and leadership of his clients' companies. Besides providing memorable anecdotes, he and coauthor Shachtman take a hard look at the key issues confronting U.S. companies, e.g., how a company's image can affect its market share and Wall Street's view of that company. Statements such as, "An image is the sum of a corporation's conversations with society," provide insights and embellish an unusually readable work with wit and elegance. Highly recommended for academic and large public libraries.
