A641- Resonant Leadership

 In your reflection blog, share instances where you have experienced a tipping point at work. When you experienced the tipping point, describe how positive or negative emotional attractors played a role in it. What was the situation? What did you do? What was the result? What would you do differently?             I can't tell you how many times I've either personally been tipped over a certain threshold, or witnessed someone who has completely lost their cool because they were pushed over the edge. Most emotionally aware individuals know when they are reaching their breaking point and display indicators for which they are no longer posses the capacity to reason thoughts or conversations. If the party keeps pressuring the situation, these self-aware individuals usually just remove themselves from the situation before it escalates to a point of no return. I know for myself that still to this day I have a hard time backing ...

Dr. Goleman describes the four dimensions of EI: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and social skill.  Develop a reflection blog that focuses on the four EI dimensions. Discuss how each of these applies to you, your strengths, areas that you need to develop, and how the dimensions have helped or hindered you in your performance and/or career.             Dr. Goleman brings to light several facets of Emotional Intelligence (EI) that help guide individuals to understanding their core concepts. More importantly, in other videos he helps shape EI's focus into identifying and associating with compassion. One of the largest problems our society has with EI interactions is removing ourselves from our own sphere of influence and pay particular attention to those around us. This broadened view of our operating environment allows people to cue into several facets that would otherwise go unnoticed. Without this tra...

A641.2.3.RB - Am I a Resonant Leader Resonant leaders need to be highly self-aware, manage themselves in stressful and complex environments, empathize with others, and lead others to get the job done. Based on the workbook exercise, post to your blog describing what surprises you discovered about yourself when completing the exercise. Cite examples where you feel you fell short. I would agree that many new leaders exude poor resonant  leadership qualities because for one they aren't practiced very often. Thinking back to elementary all the way until high school, I can't really remember a single event where we practiced how to be inspirational. Some individuals have natural speaking skills, which are charismatic, inspirational, and motivational. If you'd ask a very self conscious individual to get up in front of a group and deliver an inspirational speech in order to motivate a group, they would probably pass out, bump their head, and be taken to the hospit...

View "What is Great Leadership" by Dr. Richard Boyatzis. Dr. Boyatzis explains the impact most effective leaders can have on you.          I went back and forth when deciding what leader inspired me and who specifically stunted my output with regards to performance and it's rather cliché, but I'm probably living in the largest contrast of these traits currently. Dr. Boyatzis points out a very profound description of leadership with the focal point being on the relationship. In the military we describe this as the center of gravity, or what binds some form of advantage. Without a harmonious business relationship the effectiveness as stated in the video is limited by the amount of dive that is delivered. The first individual I describe is the antagonist as I like to name him. He sort of seems to drive excellence away from the flag pole but constantly wishes to gain better performance. It's funny, but then again not to see the reaction ...
