The Hidden Psychology of Inspirational Leaders - Adam Galinsky

The Hidden Psychology of Inspirational Leaders - Adam Galinsky

Why do some people inspire us instantly — while others infuriate us just as fast? According to Adam Galinsky, the answer isn’t random. It’s psychological, universal, and surprisingly predictable. Adam is a professor at Columbia Business School, co-author of Friend & Foe, and author of the new book Inspire. He’s spent years studying tens of thousands of real leadership stories across the globe — and what he discovered will change the way you see yourself and the people around you. In this conversation, Adam and Kwame break down: • The three universal traits of inspiring leaders • Why inspiring and infuriating people are mirror images of each other • How the “leader amplification effect” makes even small actions hit hard • How insecurity turns people into “little tyrants” • The difference between persuasion, authenticity, and manipulation • How simple practices (values reflection, power recall) can reduce anxiety and build confidence • Why anyone — in work, at home, or in life — can learn to become inspiring Adam also shares incredible personal stories, including how one sentence from Daniel Kahneman shaped his entire career — and how a small moment with his son revealed the true weight of leadership. If you’ve ever wondered why people follow some leaders and push away from others, or how to become more inspiring in your own life, this episode gives you the science, the stories, and the practical steps to do it.
