Session Information: Leadership, Passion, and Power: EI, Resonance, and Renewal Key Concepts: A refreshing new look at how to create and sustain Emotional Intelligence and resonant leadership, even in the face of stress, pressure and crises. Understand the Cycle of Sacrifice and Renewal: leadership is tough. Learn about “power stress” and how, in order to sustain good leadership, people must counter the effects of power stress with renewal. Understand how personal renewal - through cultivating mindfulness, hope and compassion - can counter the sacrifice inherent in leadership. Fun A moment or two of personal renewal. Leading with Emotional Intelligence is common sense. Who can argue that self awareness, self management, empathy, and inspiration are not crucial when guiding and influencing people, not to mention serving one's organization or community? But leading with Emotional Intelligence is not common practice. And sustaining resonant leadership seems to be extremely difficult in the world we live in today. Good leaders -- even emotionally intelligent leaders-somehow slip into dissonance and lose their ability to lead with passion, power, and inspiration. Even good leaders often slip into bad, even destructive, habits when dealing with conflict and crises day in and day out -- part of the reality of our world today. How does this happen? How does dissonance become the default? And how can leaders create and sustain resonance over time? In this keynote address, Annie will share insightful new ideas about why so many good leaders “forget” how to lead and lose their ability to create and sustain resonance, including new and surprising research that helps us understand why good people end up being bad leaders. More importantly, she will share insights -- backed up by research and experience -- on how to sustain resonant leadership, even in the face of pressure and stress that is the reality of our world today. Annie will take you through exciting new ideas from her forthcoming book, To Be a Leader, co-authored with Richard Boyatzis (Harvard Business School, Fall, 2005). She will bring together research and dialogue from diverse fields -- management, psychology, neuroscience, and philosophy -- as a way to understand how good people can develop Emotional Intelligence and sustain resonance in themselves and with others, through a conscious process of renewal. This talk will be exciting, engaging, informative and fun! Annie McKee is also co-presenting “The Practice of Resonant Leadership: Managing the Cycle of Sacrifice and Renewal” with Frances Johnston
