Resonant Leadership:Renewing Yourself and Connecting with Others Through Mindfulness, Hope, and Compassion

The blockbuster best-seller Primal Leadership introduced business people to “resonant” leaders, who manage the emotions of others and themselves 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, in Resonant Leadership, Richard Boyatzis and Annie McKee provide the answers. Boyatzis is a professor in the Department of Organizational Behavior at Case Western Reserve’s Weatherhead School of Management. McKee is co-chair of the Teleos Leadership Institute and teaches at the University of Pennsylvania’s Graduate School of Education. They are co-authors, with Daniel Goleman, of Primal Leadership.

In Resonant Leadership, Boyatzis and McKee explain how to overcome the vicious cycle of stress, sacrifice, and dissonance that afflicts many leaders. Drawing from extensive multi-disciplinary research and real-life stories, this summary offers a field-tested framework for creating the resonance that fuels great leadership.
