In his blog post today, he has a very interesting discussion of “leadership energy”, which sounds very similar to what I’ve talked about on this blog under the name “charisma”.

It’s well worth reading; and as I said in my first post on the topic, Adams has influenced my thinking on charisma a good deal.

It seems like Adams, Paul Graham, and Max Weber are the only people who have really explored this in much detail. Do you know of anyone else?
