Doing what is right may not necessarily be what is “popular." Keep your eye on the long-term.
"Digital Master” is a series of guidebooks (28 + books) to perceive the multi-faceted impact digital is making to the businesses and society, help forward-thinking organizations navigate through the journey in a systematic way, and avoid “rogue digital.” It perceives the emergent trends of digital leadership, provides advice on how to run a digital organization to unleash its full potential and improve agility, maturity, and provide insight about Change Management. It also instructs the digital workforce on how to shape a game-changing digital mindset and build the right set of digital capabilities to compete for the future. 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.
