Preventing BrandSlaughter: How to Preserve, Support, and Grow Your Brand Asset Value

This WALL STREET JOURNAL BEST SELLER shares that 'You're either building the brand or killing the brand and nothing is neutral.' The brand, as a tangible expression of a top performing culture, comes to life when its elements – including the mission – are taken off the wall and put into daily action at all levels and through all individuals in the organization. This occurs, and is measured through, what David calls “ABI” – the Audit of Brand Integrity – are we living our brand? In this book, Preventing BrandSlaughter, David Corbin outlines, in the form of a parable – the story of Reliant Hospital – how essential brand is to the foundational responsibility of any organization – attracting, engaging and keeping top performers.COMMENTS:"David Corbin's model of Preventing BrandSlaughter was foremost in our culture of building and preserving the Pictionary brand.
