Summary |
In Resonant Leadership, Boyatzis and McKee marshal decades of multidisciplinary research and hands-on consulting work to provide a practical framework for how leaders can create and sustain resonance in their relationship, their teams, and their organizations. To counter the inevitable “power stress” of the leadership role, leaders must consciously manage the “Cycle of Sacrifice and Renewal “ by stepping out of destructive patterns and renewing themselves physically, mentally, and emotionally.
Through vivid examples from the front lines of organizations worldwide, Resonant Leadership illustrates the ways that three key elements- mindfulness, hope, and compassion- are essential to enabling renewal and sustaining resonance. Boyatzis and McKee show that these seemingly “soft” concepts have proven implications for the practice of leadership, invoking physiological and psychological changes that enable leaders to overcome the negative effects of chronic stress. The book also provides dozens of exercises and a field-tested Intentional Change Model to guide leaders on their path to resonance and renewal
