Resonant Leadership

Improve Your Emotional Intelligence to Become a Resonant Leader

Daniel Goleman, Richard Boyatzis and Annie McKee demonstrated in Primal Leadership that leaders who exhibit resonant leadership produce better results than those who do not. Primal Ledership builds on Goleman's work in Emotional Intelligence or EI. EI is concept that success is not based on IQ or how smart someone is, but on how people handle themselves and deal with others. EI is a synergy of four personality "traits" - self-awareness, self-management, social awareness and relationship management. Good leaders typically score high in all areas. When a leader has high amounts of EI, they can become a resonant leader that leads the organization to greatness by projecting energy and enthusiasm through his/her actions, words and body language. People can improve their EI and learn to become resonant leaders.
