What kind of a leader are you? What kind of leader do you aspire to become? Dr. Boyatzis defines a resonant leader as someone who inspires others through consistent, positive relationships and emotions. So why aren’t there more resonant leaders in food animal practice? Many of our leaders are more characterized as dissonant leaders or disengaged. Why? Because of power stress and the sacrifice syndrome of leaders in the veterinary work environment. This lecture will explore how a leader can develop resonance with their veterinary healthcare team by taking care of their wellbeing first, and then connecting with others through mindfulness, hope, and compassion.
Learning Objectives:
Define a resonant leader
Describe the sacrifice syndrome of leaders
List three reasons leaders often burn out and become disengaged
Develop three strategies to become a more resonant veterinary leader
