What is the public relations impact of social media ethics on reputation management? And is how you do business more important than the business you do? This is the topic of this exclusive interview with Dov Seidman.

Dov Seidman is the author of the new book “How,” which explains why “how” we do anything means everything in business.

He created his highly successful company, LRN, from the living room of his apartment, which has now grown to include some high-profile clientele such as Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, Trump Enterprises, and more than 250 others.

LRN’s objective is to help companies share their corporate cultures and build strong, principled, successful organizations in the marketplace.

Seidman is very busy giving presentations about the importance of being profitable and principled to The National Press Club, the Outstanding Directors Exchange, the Defense Industry Initiative’s Best Practice Forum, the Council of State Governments, and the Corporate Board Member Magazine Boardroom Summit.

Seidman’s view on business behavior has also been quoted in The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Fortune, Forbes, CNBC, ABC’s Good Morning America, and BBC News. Seidman obtained a philosophy degree from UCLA, a politics and economics degree at Oxford, and studied law at Harvard Law School.
