Leadership is not a contest of likeability. Leadership often boils down to making the tougher choices. You are not in a popularity contest.

Paul Polman

We live in a society obsessed with public opinion. But leadership has never been about popularity.

Marco Rubio

Leadership is not a popularity contest; it's about leaving your ego at the door. The name of the game is to lead without a title.

Robin S. Sharma

Robin Sharma

A 'Hitler myth' was cultivated which built on people's desire for strong leadership, and presented Hitler as an almost God-like figure. Hitler's image was laboured over in a manner not dissimilar to that of pop stars today. What he wore, what he said, what postures he adopted during speeches were all worked out carefully... Many people began to separate Hitler from the Nazi Party, enabling Hitler's popularity to remain high whilst the popularity of the Nazi Party fell.

Alison Kitson

I wish popularity, but it is that popularity which follows; not that which is run after. It is that popularity which, sooner or later, never fails to do justice to the pursuit of noble ends, by noble means.

William Murray, 1st Earl of Mansfield

Leadership is not about popularity, it is about doing what is right.

Laura Bush

Leadership can't be claimed like luggage at the airport. Leadership can't be inherited, even though you may inherit a leadership position. And leadership can't be given as a gift - even if you've been blessed with an abundance of leadership skills to share with someone else. Leadership must be earned by mastering a defined set of skills and by working with others to achieve common goals.

David Cottrell

Every team has leadership. The leadership is the best players. But there's positive leadership, and there's negative leadership.

Jeff Van Gundy

I feel that what is probably the greatest enemy of longevity is popularity, and most people die of popularity.

Anton Szandor LaVey

The internet is about popularity. It is a medium to spread my popularity as an artist.

Terence Koh

Certainly polling is a tool for leadership. It's not a program for leadership. And you can abuse a tool. You can overuse it. A leader who looks to the latest poll finding and says, "Well that's what I should do", that's not a very good leader. I mean that's someone who is not taking this poll and saying, "Well what am I gonna have to do to get public acceptance of my policies?" It's someone who is interested in their own election or re-election, and their own popularity rather than genuinely serving the public interest.

Andrew Kohut

True popularity is not the popularity which is followed after, but the popularity which follows after.

William Murray, 1st Earl of Mansfield

Popularity is given to you, and if you think that just because you're really popular you're a better person, it could be a real crash when you find the popularity goes down.

Amy Tan

Presidents have to decide what their popularity is for. Lyndon Johnson probably understood best that political popularity is a wasting asset. You had to use it when you had it.

H. W. Brands

Popularity should be no scale for the election of politicians. If it would depend on popularity, Donald Duck and The Muppets would take seats in senate.

Orson Welles
