The power of demonstration in response to crisis

Authenticity is key in responding to a crisis, but it may not always match a brand’s image. Steve Jobs, known for his air of invincibility and secretiveness, had to recalibrate after a misstep. Instead of simply telling the world he was a visionary, his publicist suggested he show it through his actions.
