Reputation on LinkedIn®

Use LinkedIn® to build credibility, trust, influence, personal brand and recognised professional authority.

A Framework by Fox Tucker

My Why Are You Really on LinkedIn®? framework is based around the simple idea: LinkedIn® becomes much easier to use when you understand what you actually need it to do for you.

My framework separates those reasons into two broad groups.

Transactional reasons: Connected to outcomes you want to achieve – across your career, commercial opportunities, promotion and demand, or the management of a brand or channel.

Intangible motivations: Things you build over time – your reputation, relationships, knowledge and growth, and contribution to others.

They are different, but they rarely operate in isolation.

Reputation brings together the intangible motivators concerned with what you are known for, trusted for and associated with on LinkedIn®.

For senior leaders whose LinkedIn® presence no longer reflects the reputation they have built, Leaders Social offers dedicated CEO LinkedIn® Profile Optimisation and C-Suite LinkedIn® Profile Optimisation services focused on executive positioning, credibility and visibility.

This subgroup includes Establishing Credibility, Building Trust & Influence, Building a Professional Personal Brand and Thought Leadership. They are closely related, but they are not interchangeable.

Establishing Credibility

Credibility is about evidence. Your profile, experience, recommendations, skills, work and contributions should help other people decide that your expertise is real and relevant.

Building Trust & Influence

Trust develops through consistency, relevance and professional behaviour. Influence follows when people begin to value your judgement and act on what you share.

Building a Professional Personal Brand

Your personal brand is the professional identity people associate with you – your expertise, values, experience and the subjects you repeatedly contribute to.

Thought Leadership

Thought Leadership goes beyond being visible. It means contributing useful original thinking that helps shape how other people understand a subject.
