Very insightful book about leadership. And the kind of leaders we all wish we had , but rarely experience. : Coaching people for their development/ benefit as opposed to the organization's or the leader's benefit.
Think of the people who helped you most in your life and career; the ones who you can say without this person , i would not be the person i am today. This book perhaps captures the magical quality of those people.

Practical take on emotional intelligence for traditional leaders. Best quote, "leaders who pay attention to the whole self--mind, body, heart, and spirit--can literally be quicker, smarter, happier, and more effective than those who focus too narrowly on short-term success" (p. 74).

This book offered a few more insights than some. The central premise is that effective leaders find ways to renew themselves mentally, physically, intellectually, and spiritually by their mindfulness of their own needs and those of others, their ability to remain optimistic and inspire hope, and the compassion they show for colleagues. The appendix contains some exercises readers can complete to learn more about their own leadership philosophies and styles.

Very helpful. This book explains that leaders need to build resonance within their teams, not dissonance. To foster one's ability to CONSISTENTLY maintain resonance & CONSISTENTLY be compassionate toward others, leaders must take care of themselves. It is so logical that leaders are lulled into sacrificing themselves for their jobs, goals, etc. However,that only leads to failure. In your leadership role, don't feel guilty about sharpening your own saw.

I read this as part of a course on Coaching a Culture of Leadership at Case University in the Spring of 2006. The course and book were affirming of the many beliefs about leadership I had formed over 20 years. I searched for a course to help myself and others adopt a formal process of leadership development for a 21st century company.

Great book. Resonant leadership is a more biz like way of saying leading with heart.
It talks about some of the predictable pitfalls of leadership and some little know ways of staying clear and present with optimum efficiency.
