Resonant Leadership

For the past few weeks are class has worked on a project to find out if our school, Parish Episcopal, has a trash problem and if so, how we can fix it. This group project has had its road bumps, but I feel like it has brought me to a better understanding of resonant leadership. If I was advising someone on how to be a resonant leader, the first thing I would say is always be ready for the unexpected. Just as our project has had its twist and turns, every leader runs into issues along the way while leading others. If someone is ready for the unexpected, emotions are able to stay even level and the group can maintain function throughout the situation. The other thing I would advise them on might be obvious, but can not be said enough, patience. Patience is what seperates good leaders from great and by showing patience, people who are following will not be strained or scared of making you upset in the future because that usually leads to even more bad work. To achieve this goal takes time unfortunatley, but there are many ways to achieve the emotional level required to be a resonant leader. One way an individual can achieve this goal is if they put themselves in positions of leadership. Another way is to look how an individual treats his friends when in a bad mood, usually this is a telling sign of what is to come. Lastly, an individual can put himself in positions where patience is required. By doing these things, a person can better prepare himself to be a resonant leader in the future.
