In our society, the question that what is the best attribute leaders should have seems to be controversial. Non the less, that some leaders who are governed by public opinion will get a small one might be not true.
Granted, in some cases, leader who is adhere to his belief independent to the popular opinion can achieve a great work. Take steve jobs for example. As everyone knows, jobs had his own adamant opinion such as the i-phone being white, it being smaller size than person’s hand etc in the Apple. He did usually not yield discretion of buisiness to even his friendly companion, but he ultimately made his company the best in the world. Due to having strong self-assurance unlike being easily influenced by the public, jobs might have fulfilled a big achievement. Granted that it is the case, leader who have strong personal conviction might make a significant achievement.
Although the leader not affected by the public might be well, it is possibly harmful to the leadership in many cases such as not being communicated with others, not followed the times. Rather, it might be cogent that some leaders quickly follows the shifts in popular opinion. To illustrate, in the case that the success story of the samsung company, it shows us that flexible measure of a leader which was reflected by the popular opinion as good example in question. Its leader presented the world the advanced smart health care application such as possible measure of oxgen saturation which could let us check our health information in detail when he introduced the smartphone gallaxy 8. Because this quick action was affected by popular needs, samsung gallaxy 8 made a revolution in the realm of smart health care. Therefore, following the fad seems to not only be safe action, but also even be plausible to making a great achivement.
In sum, it is not necessarily for all leaders easily affected by the public to will be fulfill just little. Although, of course, they do so in some cases, it is open that they might do something big.
