It explains how the stress and sacrifice associated with leadership can produce burnout and bad decisions if not counteracted by a conscious renewal process. Based upon interdisciplinary research in such fields as neuropsychology and management, their Intentional Change Model shows leaders how to use mindfulness, hope, and compassion to become more effective.
And shows how leaders can recognise the cycles of stress, sacrifice, and renewal inherent in their jobs - and actively utilise the qualities of mindfulness, hope, and compassion to renew their passion and effectiveness. It is a practical follow-on to the international bestseller. It goes beyond research and stories to offer proven strategies for how to "do" resonant leadership. Boyatzis and McKee are co-authors of PL, and Daniel Goleman has written a glowing Foreword to the book, which will lend considerable credibility and visibly link the book to its predecessor. It addresses a universal leadership challenge. The increasingly short tenure of many of today’s executives, the pressure to make the quarterly numbers, a shaky economy and other stresses in today’s global workplace underscore the urgency of this book’s message, and its relevance for executives and managers in all kinds of companies..
