I suppose popularity is measured by ratings. If a broadcaster is known as the leader because of ratings, then that's where people most want to be seen and heard, so there's no question that there's an advantage.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The more opportunities people have to experience television on different platforms, the more television they consume overall. So there actually has been a benefit, but the ratings have gone down. But we've seen kind of the horizontal benefit of this. And it remains a great, great promotion engine.
It pays to cultivate popularity. It doubles success possibilities, develops manhood, and builds up character.
In many companies, the person who talks the best usually gets the job. I got snowed by a few of those people over the years. I still think communication is important, but I don't think there's always a correlation between being a great communicator and other virtues that make for a great leader.
Popularity gets up people's noses. But I understand the importance and the function of popular music. There is an artistic purpose. Popular music helps people to develop a curiosity and leads them towards classical music.
In America, public opinion is the leader.
Popularity has everything to do with business and nothing to do with music.
Public opinion can be influential, the media can be influential.
Being a good listener is absolutely critical to being a good leader; you have to listen to the people who are on the front line.
I firmly believe that respect is a lot more important, and a lot greater, than popularity.
We live in a society obsessed with public opinion. But leadership has never been about popularity.
