Leadership is not a popularity contest


Leadership is not a popularity contest. Privileges of leadership come with responsibilities to make decisions that positively impact the lives of the majority and the firm as a whole. It is very rare that you will be able to make decisions that will be well received by everyone, by 100% of the people impacted by that decision.

With that in mind, focus on doing what you believe is the right thing to do, not on what would simply please others.

“Popularity is not leadership.” – Richard Marcinko
