10 Highest Mojo American Leaders

Here are my highest mojo Americans.  I excluded anyone who is still living.  Note that US Presidents are featured prominently.  This should not surprise you, as getting elected by the entire US population is no mean feat.
Many sources make lists. I have used them to build mine for you. Wikipedia is a source that does a good job of describing how a list is built. But I don't rely on it. Instead, I used garden of praise, thrillist, ranker, listovative, The Greates_Americans, and my own judgement as my sources. These are chosen to help you. Here 's my list for you:



  1. George Washington - Washington displayed manifest leadership qualities, from his military accomplishments to his political ones. There was little question that he would be elected our first president. He won a majority of electoral votes in every state. He is ranked near the top in almost every list.
  2. Abraham Lincoln - Some believe he was an even better leader than Washington. Often quoted, he was a very well-read, educated man who led us through the Civil War. Many hated him and expressed their feelings vociferously He took it and accomplished much, illustrating his leadership abilities..
  3. Thomas Jefferson - He was the third president, but he was also the author of the Declaration of Independence. Mr. Jefferson was a remarkably smart man with many accomplishments, He was quite the polymath.
  4. Ronald Reagan - Remember, this is a list of the Americans with the highest mojo. I am not making a political statement here. Reagan had the mojo to advance his agenda despite ferocious opposition. For this alone, he deserves to be on any mojo list.
  5. Benjamin Franklin - Anthor, diplomat, and famous polymath who was born too early to be president.
    Read his autobiography, ohe of my favorite books. You will get a true appreciation of the mojo this man had. Of course, he is immortalized on the $100 bill.
  6. Teddy Roosevelt - The only 20th century face on Mt. Rushmore. He possessed many of the rough and tough qualities that an American man is supposed to possess.
  7. Franklin D. Roosevelt - See Ronald Reagan. He got his agenda passed, despite vehement opposition. His mojo has been unquestioned after he won a fourth term despite failing health.

  8. Martin Luther King Jr. - The remaining three were not politicians, but unquestionably possessed mojo. Dr. King was an outstanding leader as well. His tactic of non-violent resistance, although controversial at the time, has proven to be very effective over the years.
  9. George S. Patton - This general was beloved by his troops and effective in his tactics. He was a decisive leader well known for aggressive,rapid advances.
  10. Neil Armstrong - The first man on the moon. This story tells why he was selected for this role and says a lot about mojo. The lunar lander was descending under computer control to the surface of the moon. Armstrong was the pilot in charge. Looking out the window, he saw that the lander was going to land on a large boulder, killing both occupants. He took manual control of the craft and steered it toward a safe landing. The rest is history.

  Mojo Heroes And Antiheroes There are both heroes and antiheroes among people with high mojo. There is no law that says a person with high mojo has to be a nice person. Sometimes they are, sometimes they aren’t. Let’s define anti-hero. Webster says an anti-hero is “a protagonist or notable figure who is conspicuously lacking in heroic qualities”. Examples of heroic qualities are strength, ability, achievement, courage, and nobility. The number of anti-heroes compared to heroes is greater in fiction than in real life. It is just more fun to write about or play the more complex characters typified by anti-heroes. It exploits the talents of the actors better. It also seems as if there are more anti-heroes today than in prior years. But all of the people I am about to mention had high mojo, whether hero or anti-hero. In an earlier post , I described the top 10 American people with high mojo. They were George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, Ronald Reagan, Benjamin F

Top 10 Mojo Effects

Top 10 Mojo Effects I am going to concentrate on the effects of a high mojo individual or set of individuals on a group of people, rather than on individuals themselves who have mojo. If you acquire more mojo for your group, you may experience one or more of these effects. There are three types of effects that you will see. There are the direct effects of increasing mojo on the group. There are the indirect effects of the example set by adding the mojo. Lastly, there are the synergistic effects each group member experiences from having a teammate with mojo. When you add mojo to your group, you also add each of the component of mojo : motivation , expertise , experience , support , faith , willingness to act , and luck . Obviously there is a net increase in each of these in the group. But with them, you get an example of proper attitude, behavior, and preparation (see below for the effects these will have). Also, each member of your group will come to know that they have a rol

Age and mojo How old can you be to start an activity? You have probably heard all of these: Age is just a number You are never too old  Youth isn’t all it’s cracked up to be There is no age limit to anything On the other hand, proverbial wisdom says: Youth must be served You need to do something for 10,000 hours before you can be good at it, If you fail early, you can learn from the experience before others even get started. It is easier to adopt good habits when you are young. These statements conflict with other. What is the truth? I will discuss four different ways of looking at age. Average “best” age Inspiration from outstanding performances at advanced ages Age limiting factors Age preventative measure People speak of a peak age for any given event. The best way to look at age is as a probability. For example, the probable peak age for a female gymnast is in the early teens. The probable peak age for a sprinter is in the late tw
