We’ve all seen it before: the ambitious head who likes great success and, inexplicably, crashes and burns. Maybe this leader continues to be you. Why does this happen, in spite of the leader’s eyesight, talent, and psychological intelligence?

Richard Boyatzis and Annie McKee, co-authors, with Daniel Goleman, of the worldwide best-seller Primal Command, argue that today’s leaders face unprecedented challenges that create a vicious cycle of stress and sacrifice, with little or no recovery on the subject of Resonant Leadership time built in. As a result, even the most resonant market leaders, whose ability to deftly manage their very own and others’ feelings once drove their companies to greatness, find yourself spiraling into dissonance.

Within this new audiobook, Boyatzis and McKee marshal decades of multidisciplinary research and hands-on consulting function to provide a practical framework for how leaders can create and maintain resonance within their relationships, their teams, and their organizations. To counter the unavoidable ‘power tension’ of the command role, leaders must consciously manage the ‘Cycle of Sacrifice and Renewal’ by moving out of harmful patterns and renewing themselves actually, mentally, and emotionally. Through vivid good examples, the authors show how three important elements – mindfulness, wish, and compassion – are crucial to allowing renewal and sustaining resonance.

Market leaders can’t sustain efficiency if they can’t sustain themselves. Resonant Leadership offers inspiration, a large number of exercises, and various other tools to greatly help listeners become and stay successful leaders within their function and in their lives.
