Restoring Confidence in Doing Business with Companies

This is an open question to get a sense of what is possible. Decisions made today by executives quickly make news. Most of it unfortuately has not been positive; especially with how companies are using bail out monies to take bonuses and pay raises.

Executives are under a fish bowl now more than ever. Despite all of the news, there are companies out there doing great things that builds goodwill and trust within their organizations and abroad.

Here is an articlt in the Chicago Times that also provides some perspective.

Concerns of trust in American business have been emerging and gaining greater visibility since 2002. This then timely article appears to have fallen on deaf ears, http://www.ameinfo.com/20262.htmlTrajectory of Trust in American Business Shows Signs of Improvement if Brands Act Decisively/a> , which states, “Americans are willing to trust business again if companies prove they can be a ‘trust-builder’ not a ‘trust buster’.”

What have you experienced or recommend? How can American companies become “trust builders”?
