I was going to say the same thing, peopleā€™s opinions of you is a majority of the job of being a leader. But then again good leaders own up to their mistakes.

So ya, let them watch you fall, and then let them watch you get back up and try again.

That is leadership, and peopleā€™s opinions matter.

Na peopleā€™s opinions really do not matter. Hold yourself accountable and stick to your principles, and youā€™ll be covering the ā€œpeopleā€™s opinions matterā€ base all the time. Unless your a dumbass - then just become a sheep.

Depends what people.

Your boss, your wife, your parents, your family? It does matter what they think.

You shouldn't bow to their every whim, or let their opinions decide what you'll do every time, but pissing off those people or losing their respect will definitely have an impact on your life.

And winning their respect and admiration will definitely have a positive impact on your self esteem, family life and possibly finances, all of which correlate with good mental health.

I think the down voters missed your point, ā€œHold yourself accountable.ā€ If you hold yourself accountable, you act in a manner that doesnā€™t violate or offend people. You have taken care of ā€œpeopleā€™s opinionsā€. Their opinions then donā€™t have to matter to you. I get you!

Yep that's what I meant. I think I just offended people with my last sentence, which is fine.

People choose to be offended when on some level they believe that statement. Iā€™m sure I will get downvoted too.
