Becoming a Resonant Leader: Develop Your Emotional Intelligence, Renew Your Relationships, Sustain Your Effectiveness Paperback – Illustrated, February 5, 2008

This book and the conversations it instigates create change for the betterment of the world. When the reader takes the time to reflect on personal experiences and growth opportunities, ones life vision becomes obvious. Leadership, in all aspects of life, is developed and defined for the personal growth of the reader.As the instructor for The Institute for Leadership and Character Development [...], this book provided a wonderful framework for learning.

I bought this workbook to use as a companion for my Resonant Leadership book written by the same authors. Everything these authors write will set you free from a dissonance world.

The book is one that all new managers should read. It is an easy guide on improving your leadership skills.

An excellent book and a good companion guide to their previous book - Resonant Leadership: Renewing Yourself and Connecting with Others Through Mindfulness, Hope and Compassion. I thought that the exercises would be particularly useful tools for those who help develop leaders (coaches, etc).A few observations: On page 39 it mentions (in one paragraph) that "..there is compassion - not often discussed in books on leadership. But compassion is a very important aspect....". So I thought, this is good! Finally a leadership book that discusses compassion! But I was disappointed as there is no discussion anywhere in the book about compassion. Overall I thought some important areas of mindfulness (compassion is one of them) were somewhat shortchanged in an otherwise excellent book. What about 'intuition'? Or 'leading from the heart?' Or 'integrity'? Resonant leaders, first and foremost, need to be attuned with themselves. This area could have been given more attention in the book.Dr Christine Maingard, Author of 'Think Less Be More:Mental Detox for Everyone'

My mentor recommended this book to me. It has truly played an integral role in helping encourage me through the process of both personal AND professional development.

This is the best leadership book! Anyone who is willing to do the work in this book has the possibility of becoming a great leader.

I’m fairly critical of business and leadership books, but I actually liked this. The exercises included are helpful in identifying areas I wouldn’t have otherwise addressed.The author makes sure to reference adequately to support claims made. While in retrospect I see most of the material is intuitive, I wouldn’t have thought in the improved way without the book. I recommend this with a few other business books as well, but none others by this author.

Loved this book, help me learned about my leadership style and internalize my techniques and improve my leadership style.
