Here is a set of “Popularity” quotes in “Digital Master.”

1 Effective communication is not just for gaining popularity, but to share the vision and convey insight.

2 Be critical if need be, build trust to have an open dialogue. Leadership is not just a popularity contest, it is a set of advanced mindset and exemplary behavior to help move the vision forward effectively.

3 Today, rather than being a mythological trend, the invention and popularization of the term "design thinking" reflect the emergence of an accessible thought framework, a holistic, flexible and creative way of seeing that anyone can appreciate, more than a specific set of codified methodologies.

4 There are some continuing efforts to marry complexity theory (focusing in particular on complex adaptive systems) with the strategic management field. Contingency theory-based views of strategic management are again gaining some popularity, in particular in relation to complex environments.

5 Transparency is gaining in popularity as a component of leadership, but in uncertain times, the concept is complicated by managing paradoxes.

6 The bandwagon effect is characterized by the probability of individual adoption increasing with respect to the proportion who have already done so. According to this concept, the increasing popularity of a product or phenomenon encourages more people psychologically to "get on the bandwagon" too.

7 Doing what is right may not necessarily be what is “popular." Keep your eye on the long-term. If leaders only look at the quick-fix options that is merely window dressing to the underlying issues. It makes them and their department look good on the surface but does not help the corporation move forward.
