reality-distortion field
(jargon) | reality-distortion field
n.
An expression used to describe the persuasive ability of managers like
Steve Jobs (the term originated at Apple in the 1980s to describe his
peculiar charisma). Those close to these managers become passionately
committed to possibly insane projects, without regard to the practicality
of their implementation or competitive forces in the marketplace.
