From time to time, I have read about Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown or watched him on the news. With a healthy sense of "Is this guy for real?" I wondered... I saw an expose on the Senator on 60 minutes as he talked about his new book. Tough background. Charisma all over the place. Brown is a narcissistic leader, a very productive one. "A vision to change the workd and create meaning for people, perserverance, sense of humor..." (Northouse pg 280) It will be interesting to see what other leadership qualities emerge during his time in the Senate.

This article focuses on an aspect of leadership that Northouse has deliberately avoided: the dark side, of transformational leadership in particular.

Interesting cult leader. I posted an article about the dark side also. I wonder why Northouse avoided the topic. I think it would have been instructional. The closest he came was that test in which you describe the leader you least liked to work with.
