The blockbuster best seller Primal Leadership introduced us to
"resonant" leaders--individuals who manage their own and others'
emotions in ways that drive success. Leaders everywhere recognized the
validity of resonant leadership, but struggled with how to achieve and
sustain resonance amid the relentless demands of work and life. Now,
Richard Boyatzis and Annie McKee provide an indispensable guide to
overcoming the vicious cycle of stress, sacrifice, and dissonance that
afflicts many leaders. Drawing from extensive multidisciplinary research
and real-life stories, Resonant Leadership offers a field-tested
framework for creating the resonance that fuels great leadership. Rather
than constantly sacrificing themselves to workplace demands, leaders can
manage the cycle using specific techniques to combat stress, avoid
burnout, and renew themselves physically, mentally, and emotionally. The
book reveals that the path to resonance is through mindfulness, hope,
and compassion and shows how intentionally employing these qualities
creates effective and enduring leadership. Great leaders are resonant
leaders. Resonant Leadership offers the inspiration--and tools--to spark
and sustain resonance in ourselves and in those we lead.
