Product Description
What distinguishes great leaders? Exceptional leaders capture passion. They lead for real: from the heart, smart and focused on the future, and with a commitment to being their very best.

As Annie McKee and Richard Boyatzis have shown in their bestselling books Primal Leadership and Resonant Leadership, they create resonance with others. Through resonance, leaders become attuned to the needs and dreams of people they lead. They create conditions where people can excel. They sustain their effectiveness through renewal.

McKee, Boyatzis, and Frances Johnston share vivid, real-life stories illuminating how people can develop emotional intelligence, build resonance, and renew themselves. Reflecting twenty years of longitudinal research and practical wisdom with executives and leaders around the world, this new book is organized around a core of experience-tested exercises. These tools help you articulate your strengths and values, craft a plan for intentional change, and create resonance with others.

Practical and inspiring, Becoming a Resonant Leader is your hands-on guide to developing emotional intelligence, renewing and sustaining yourself and your relationships, and taking your leadership to a whole new level. This book is ideal for anyone seeking personal and professional development and for consultants, coaches, teachers, and faculty to use with their clients or students.

Becoming A Resonant Leader

This is a companion workbook to Resonant Leadership that practically shows you how to become a resonant leader as well as a better, more engaged person through the use of exercises. I use this workbook in my coaching practice and consider it a wonderful tool to help my clients reflect on areas of their life that they may not have had an opportunity to do in some time.

If you or someone you care about is ready to start living life with intentionality, this is a great workbook to get you started on that journey.

Disappointed

I was disaapointed in this audio book. It was a waste of five cds. Some things just weren't made for audio. In this case, the audios are mostly exercises that are not conducive to the audio format. For instance, in one exercise, the listener is prompted to write down a list of probably 50 words, then go back and check the ones that describe you. Why not offer a link to a site with the list already generated?

Most people listen to audio books while walking or driving. Completing exercises that require writing just won't work. Save you money and buy one of the other Emotional Intelligence products - most of which are very good.

Strongly recommended! A process for leading and for life

This is a great book. I've read the other two books by McKee and Boyatzis, and this takes the core ideas around hope and compassion and makes them more concrete for the leader. I was surprised by how inspired I became from actually doing the exercises. I feel grounded and clearer about what I want from my work, and from life.

Strongly recommended.
