Resonant Leadership

Based on class discussions to date and looking back at your experience leading (and being led), how will you recognize "resonant leadership"  as you move forward from this class.  What would resonant leadership look like, sound like, and feel like when seen in a team captain, student government leader, youth group leader, or any other role in which you might find yourself?      As we discussed in class, resonant leaders are those who are in harmony with those in need and also with those that they lead. They are leaders who seek to build strong relationships with their peers, and they also have their followers best interest in mind at all times.If you were to be surrounded by a bunch of resonant leaders you would feel a large sense of connection, passion and positive energy surrounding you. Of course, it is important to address what it means to be the opposite of a resonant leader. The  opposite would be a dissonant leader. If you were to associate yourself with dissonat leaders there would be a lack of harmony, connection,  and postive emotions. All of these traits put together tends to just wear people out. This is why I strive to be a person who does things "the nice way." The five tenants on my personal creedo  are balance, smart, happy, genuine, and approachable. I think each of these adds to what  it means to be a resonant leader. I try to get to know people and bring out the best of them, and by looking for the positives in all builds that resonant relationship. Once again, my personal creedo has allowed me to become even more aware of that legacy that I hope to leave behind and the five tenants that my personal creedo suggests, are what make me a natural resonant leader. Lastly, everyone appreciates being valued, and it is my strength to make those resonant bonds with those who may feel undervalued. I cannot think of any reason as to why anyone would want to be considered anything other than a resonant leader.
