Becoming a Resonant Leader

"I'm working harder than I ever have, and I don't know if it's worth it anymore." If you're a manager or leader in today's high-speed, high-stress economy, these words have probably run through your mind, maybe more than once. Many people in management positions are feeling fed up, burned out, and unhappy at work: the constant pressure and stress, the unending changes, the politics . . . People are feeling they can't give much more, and their performance is suffering. But it's work, after all, right? Should we even expect to be fulfilled and happy at work? Annie McKee answers with a definitive yes. She makes the most compelling case yet that happiness--and the full engagement that comes with it--is more important than ever in today's workplace. Based on extensive research and decades of experience with leaders, this book sheds new light on the powerful relationship of happiness to individual, team, and organizational success. McKee's research reveals that there are three essential elements that people must have in order to be happy at work: A sense of purpose and the chance to contribute to something bigger than themselves; A vision that is powerful and personal, creating a real sense of hope; and Resonant, friendly relationships. The book is organized around these essential elements and shows how leaders can create and sustain them in the face of ongoing stress and pressure, as well as how to create a healthy, positive climate for their teams and other groups within their companies. How to Be Happy at Work will transform and enrich our understanding of what it means to be happy at work, and it will provide clear, practical advice and instruction for how to achieve this.--

HBR's 10 Must Reads on Emotional Intelligence (with Featured Article "What Makes a Leader?" by Daniel Goleman)(HBR's 10 Must Reads)

As business reinvents itself at broadband speed, what makes leaders effective has inevitably been transformed. Old assumptions and old modes no longer hold; a new style of leadership that works has emerged amidst the chaos of change. This new leader excels in the art of relationship, the singular expertise which the changing business climate renders indispensable. Excellence is being defined in interpersonal terms as companies have stripped out layers of managers, as corporations merge across national boundaries, and as customers and suppliers redefine the web of connection. Bestselling author Daniel Goleman argues that emotionally intelligent leaders are now 'must-haves' for business today. But many readers have been left with, So now what do I do? The New Leaders answers that question by laying out the map for transforming leadership in individuals, in teams and organizations.

The New Leaders

Fran Johnston

This digital collection, curated by Harvard Business Review, offers four books on the topic of emotional intelligence, found by bestselling author Daniel Goleman to be twice as important as other competencies in determining outstanding leadership. In Primal Leadership, With a New Preface by the Authors, the authors show that great leaders excel not just through skill and smarts, but by connecting with others using emotional intelligence competencies like empathy and self-awareness. The best leaders are “resonant” leaders—individuals who manage their own and others’ emotions in ways that drive success. In Resonant Leadership, Richard Boyatzis and Annie McKee provide an indispensable guide to overcoming the vicious cycle of stress, sacrifice, and dissonance that afflicts many leaders and offer a field-tested framework for creating the resonance that fuels great leadership. And in Becoming a Resonant Leader, Annie McKee, Richard Boyatzis, and Frances Johnston share vivid, real-life stories illuminating how people can develop emotional intelligence, build resonance, and renew themselves. Finally, HBR’s 10 Must Read on Emotional Intelligence presents 10 articles by experts in the field of emotional intelligence, all of which will inspire you to monitor and channel your moods and emotions; make smart, empathetic people decisions; manage conflict and regulate emotions within your team; react to tough situations with resilience; better understand your strengths, weaknesses, needs, values, and goals; and develop emotional agility.

O livro que consagrou a inteligência emocional no meio empresarial — e a tornou uma habilidade necessária para líderes de todo o mundo. Um best-seller internacional em nova edição revista e ampliada. Três renomados especialistas, entre eles o aclamado autor de Inteligência emocional, analisam o papel da inteligência emocional na liderança. Os autores revelam que as emoções dos líderes são contagiosas: se os líderes transmitirem energia e entusiasmo, a organização progride; se transmitem negatividade, a organização afunda. Com base em décadas de pesquisa, os autores mostram que líderes de excelência são eficientes porque se relacionam com os outros utilizando as competências da inteligência emocional, como a empatia e a autoconsciência, e não apenas por serem inteligentes ou tecnicamente competentes. Os bons líderes têm mais de um estilo de liderança, que adotam conforme as necessidades. Um livro essencial para qualquer líder, independentemente do nível hierárquico ou do tipo de organização.

Como liderar com sensibilidade e eficiência

O poder da inteligência emocional

>> Cum ar arăta viaţa noastră, dacă instituţiile în care lucrăm ar fi con-duse de lideri care ne inspiră? Cum ar fi şcolile în care învaţă copiii noştri, dacă profesorii ar pune accent pe dezvoltarea inteligenţei emoţionale? Şi ce s-ar întâmpla, dacă ne-am folosi cu inteligenţă emoţiile în familie şi în comunitate? >> În paginile cărţii de faţă se regăsesc experienţele multor lideri cu o inteligenţă emoţională deosebită. Din cercetarea acestor cazuri, au ieşit la iveală răspunsuri la întrebări vitale privind conducerea bazată pe inte-ligenţă emoţională. De exemplu, ce resurse le sunt necesare liderilor, pentru a fi eficienţi? De unde îşi trage forţa lăuntrică un lider? Cum îi inspiră pe cei din jur? Cum creează un climat favorabil inventivităţii, performanţei şi relaţiilor interumane? >> Iar răspunsurile sunt esenţiale, pentru că dimensiunea emoţională a activităţii de conducere – uneori invizibilă, alteori ignorată – determină cât de bine vor funcţiona toate celelalte aspecte organizationale. Altfel spus, acţiunile liderilor şi stările lor de spirit au un impact covârşitor asupra celor pe care îi îndrumă. >> Conducerea bazată pe inteligenţă emoţională inspiră şi stimulează pasiunea şi entuziasmul; de asemenea, susţine motivaţia şi devotamentul. Cei care şi-au dezvoltat abilităţile emoţionale au început să se cunoască mai bine, să manifeste mai multă empatie, să dea dovadă de mai multă stăpânire de sine şi să beneficieze de relaţii interumane mai armonioase. În final se dovedeşte că maniera în care relaţionăm cu noi înşine şi cu ceilalţi, numită de Daniel Goleman „inteligenţă emoţională“, garantează reuşita în viaţă într-o măsură mai mare decât acumularea de titluri şi diplome. www.danielgoleman.info
