It's the book that injected "emotional intelligence" into the business lexicon--and made it a necessary skill for leaders. In the decade since the bestselling "Primal Leadership" was first published, managers across the globe have embraced its message and continue to attest to the importance of emotionally intelligent leadership. And the book's relevance has reached well beyond the business world: "Primal Leadership" is now used routinely in universities, business and medical schools, other professional training programs, and by a growing legion of leadership coaches. This refreshed edition of "Primal Leadership" illustrates why the book is all the more timely today as leaders face ever-increasing pressures--from globalization and the economic roller coaster to the hyper-speed of evolving information technologies and the ratcheting up of competitive forces. This whirlwind of change puts increasing importance on the abilities of a leader to be self-aware and composed, focused and high energy, empathic and motivating, collaborative and compelling: in short, resonant. A host of studies worldwide continue to underscore why--and how--emotionally intelligent leadership gets results, especially in today's complex world. From bestselling author Daniel Goleman and coauthors Richard Boyatzis and Annie McKee, this groundbreaking and still timely book reminds us of the true requirements of successful leadership.

Filled with probing questions and exercises that encourage self-reflection, this powerful and practical book will forever change the way coaches, managers, teachers, and parents think about and practice what they do when they try to help.

The blockbuster best seller Primal Leadership introduced us to "e;resonant"e; 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.
