Life''s too short to be unhappy at work "I''m working harder than I ever have, and I don''t know if it''s worth it anymore." If you''re a manager or leader, these words have probably run through your mind. So many of us are feeling fed up, burned out, and unhappy at work: the constant pressure and stress, the unending changes, the politics--people feel as though they can''t give much more, and performance is suffering. But it''s work, after all, right? Should we even expect to be fulfilled and happy at work? Yes, we should, says Annie McKee, coauthor of the bestselling Primal Leadership. In her new transformative book, she makes the most compelling case yet that happiness--and the full engagement that comes with it--is more important than ever in today''s workplace, and she sheds new light on the powerful relationship of happiness to individual, team, and organizational success. Based on extensive research and decades of experience with leaders, this book reveals that people must have three essential elements in order to be happy at work: A sense of purpose and the chance to contribute to something bigger than themselves A vision that is powerful and personal, creating a real sense of hope Resonant, friendly relationships With vivid and moving real-life stories, the book shows how leaders can use these powerful pillars to create and sustain happiness even when they''re under pressure. By emphasizing purpose, hope, and friendships they can also ensure a healthy, positive climate for their teams and throughout the organization. How to Be Happy at Work deepens our understanding of what it means to be truly fulfilled and effective at work and provides clear, practical advice and instruction for how to get there--no matter what job you have.

Offers activities designed to help leaders develop their emotional intelligence and sustain resonance in relationships.

Les défis qui se posent aux leaders d''aujourd''hui sont immenses. À un monde plus instable et imprévisible que jamais s''ajoute la complexité croissante des entreprises. Comment ne pas céder, dans un tel contexte, au stress et à la pression ? Comment susciter l''enthousiasme et fédérer ses collaborateurs sur le long terme ? Quels sont les secrets d''un leadership durable ? S''appuyant sur des années de recherches en psychologie du travail et en neuro-physiologie, Richard Boyatzis et Annie McKee montrent que les dirigeants sont conduits par l''augmentation de leurs responsabilités à se sacrifier au profit de leur travail au risque d''entrer dans un cercle vicieux : plus exigeants avec eux-mêmes et avec leur entourage, ils cessent d''être en résonance avec leurs émotions, se coupent de leur équipe et perdent progressivement leur leadership. Or, le véritable leader est celui qui, avant de guider les autres, sait s''écouter et gérer ses émotions. l''harmonie intérieure qu''il y gagne lui donne d''autant plus d''efficacité dans l''action. D''Eduardo, directeur du département d''une grosse ONG à Karl, associé dans un prestigieux cabinet, en passant par Colleen, présidente d''une compagnie aérienne, des cas abondamment développés illustrent ce qu''il faut faire et ne pas faire pour préserver et entretenir son leadership. Très concret et vivant, ce livre propose également de nombreux tests et exercices pour se situer et adopter les mesures qui s''imposent.

The blockbuster best seller Primal Leadership introduced us to "resonant" leaders--individuals who manage their own and others'' emotions in ways that drive success. Leaders everywhere recognized the validity of resonant leadership, but struggled with how to achieve and sustain resonance amid the relentless demands of work and life. Now, Richard Boyatzis and Annie McKee provide an indispensable guide to overcoming the vicious cycle of stress, sacrifice, and dissonance that afflicts many leaders. Drawing from extensive multidisciplinary research and real-life stories, Resonant Leadership offers a field-tested framework for creating the resonance that fuels great leadership. Rather than constantly sacrificing themselves to workplace demands, leaders can manage the cycle using specific techniques to combat stress, avoid burnout, and renew themselves physically, mentally, and emotionally. The book reveals that the path to resonance is through mindfulness, hope, and compassion and shows how intentionally employing these qualities creates effective and enduring leadership. Great leaders are resonant leaders. Resonant Leadership offers the inspiration--and tools--to spark and sustain resonance in ourselves and in those we lead.

As business reinvents itself at broadband speed, what makes leaders effective has inevitably been transformed. Old assumptions and old modes no longer hold; a new style of leadership that works has emerged amidst the chaos of change. This new leader excels in the art of relationship, the singular expertise which the changing business climate renders indispensable. Excellence is being defined in interpersonal terms as companies have stripped out layers of managers, as corporations merge across national boundaries, and as customers and suppliers redefine the web of connection. Bestselling author Daniel Goleman argues that emotionally intelligent leaders are now ''must-haves'' for business today. But many readers have been left with, So now what do I do? The New Leaders answers that question by laying out the map for transforming leadership in individuals, in teams and organizations.
