What is “resonance”? • Richness or significance, especially in evoking an association or strong emotion. • Intensification and prolongation of sound, especially of a musical tone, produced by sympathetic vibration. • Intensification of vocal tones during articulation.
What is “resonance”? “…a powerful collective energy that supports higher productivity, creativity, a sense of unity, a sense of purpose, and better results” (McKee et al. Becoming a Resonant Leader, 39-40).
Why resonate? Engaging those you lead in meaningful conversations can lead to renewed energy, shared language, clarity, and a new (or renewed) shared commitment.
Start where you are • Our motivation to learn and develop as leaders must be personal. • “Significant professional growth without personal transformation is not possible” (7). • We need to own our authority (respect and own our position power) and cultivate our personal power.
“Intellect and technical knowledge are baseline and do not differentiate great leaders. Emotional and social intelligence make the difference” (24).
Intelligence Strategies • Telling your story • Creating lifelines • Mind-mapping • Free-writing • Body scanning • Appreciative Inquiry • Dynamic Inquiry
1. Emotional Intelligence: Self-Awareness • I can name my emotions. • I can articulate my values. • I live up to my own articulated values.
what is my Ideal Self? what is my Noble Purpose?
A meaningful vision of our Ideal Self keeps us engaged, resilient, and flexible through our leadership challenges. (There are many different tools for self-exploration.)
what are the clues to myself? do my actions and artifacts reflect my values?
2. Emotional Intelligence:Self-Management • I can manage my emotions. • I build in check points to monitor myself. • I attend to problems as wake-up calls, rather than lashing out or shutting down. • I avoid “Sacrifice Syndrome” with mindfulness, hope, and compassion. • I reconnect my Noble Purpose with my work. • I reconnect my daily actions with my values. • I spend regular, significant amounts of time on what is important to me.
Social Intelligence Social awareness: • I know that emotions are contagious. • I am aware of the emotional landscape and how I may be contributing to it. Relationship management: • I ask others to tell me about my value to them. • I help us sustain an “error-correcting system.”
What do we need? • We need a learning plan. • We need opportunities to try things. • We need supportive relationships.
