"Teaching them the ropes... Getting them up to speed... showing them the basics."

Phrases often used when the next generation of a family-owned business steps into the business. Much thought and action are applied to teaching the next generation the mechanics of running and owning a family-owned business. While this is extremely important, what absolutely cannot get lost in the curriculum given to the next generation is leadership development. One of the most important functions of an owner is to develop a vision and strategy for their company. This vision and strategy must then be given to the team(s) in a manner that is clear, concise, and inspiring. Without execution of the vision and strategy, the vision and strategy are useless. This is where resonant leadership comes into play.

Resonant leadership is a leadership style that emphasizes emotional intelligence, strong interpersonal connections, and the ability to inspire and motivate others by creating a positive and harmonious work environment (culture). Resonant leaders are skilled at understanding their own emotions and the emotions of others, fostering trust, and creating a sense of purpose within their teams or organizations.

Key Characteristics of Resonant Leadership:

Emotional Intelligence: Resonant leaders are self-aware, empathetic, and adept at managing emotions in themselves and others.

Visionary Thinking: They inspire others by articulating a clear and compelling vision for the future.

Authentic: They demonstrate integrity, authenticity, and genuine care for their team's well-being.

Empathy and Compassion: Resonant leaders connect with people on a human level, creating an environment of psychological safety and belonging.

Adaptability: They can navigate complex situations and adjust their leadership style to meet the needs of their team or organization.

Why Resonant Leadership Is Important:

Increases Engagement: Resonant leaders foster trust and emotional connection, motivating team members to perform at their best.

Improves Team Morale: By cultivating positive relationships and a supportive environment, they reduce stress and enhance overall morale.

Drives Innovation: Their ability to create a culture of openness and collaboration encourages creativity and the exchange of ideas.

Enhances Retention: Employees are more likely to stay in environments where they feel valued, supported, and inspired.

Improves Performance: A resonant approach can lead to better communication, collaboration, and results, as people feel aligned with their leader's vision and values.

In contrast to resonant leadership, dissonant leadership refers to a leadership style characterized by a lack of emotional resonance, harmony, or alignment between the leader and their team. This style is often associated with leaders who may be:

Disconnected from the team's emotions: These leaders may fail to recognize or address the emotional needs of their team members, leading to a lack of trust, motivation, and engagement.

Authoritarian or indifferent: They may impose decisions without seeking input, show little empathy, or appear unapproachable, creating an emotionally distant or rigid work environment.

Unclear or inconsistent: Dissonant leaders may provide mixed messages or fail to communicate effectively, leaving their teams uncertain about goals or expectations.

Characteristics of Dissonant Leadership:

Lack of emotional intelligence or empathy.

Poor communication skills.

Tendency to prioritize tasks over people.

Inability to build trust or a cohesive team environment.

Consequences of Dissonant Leadership:

Decreased employee morale and engagement.

High turnover rates due to dissatisfaction.

Reduced productivity and collaboration.

Gallup polls in 2024 show full engagement in the work force to be a mere 30%. Which thereby suggests 70% of the workforce is less than fully engaged with an estimated cost of $8.8 TRILLION worldwide. This amounts to 9% of the entire WORLD'S GDP. This astronomical figure is a cost that cannot be ignored and underscores the importance of resonant leadership and its development in all businesses, especially family-owned businesses.

It is very important to ensure that a well-planned succession plan is in place for the next generation. Key to the plan is a well thought out developmental plan for each member of the incoming generation. While there are several developmental opportunities that are universal, the plan itself should be specific to the individual needs of the person with specific focus on enhancing the individual's strengths and a focus on cultivating awareness as well as development of their opportunities (otherwise sometimes labeled as weaknesses).

In a world where workplace stress and disengagement are common, resonant leadership is increasingly recognized as an effective approach to creating sustainable success and fostering a positive organizational culture.

Reach out to us to learn how resonant leadership can transform your organization and help create a culture that fosters engagement, sustainability, and success.

Collage – "The Resonant Leader and Their Team"

# data[].attributes.body
This collage was created as part of a storytelling process focused on the question: What should a resonant leader and their team look like? Using digital storytelling tools, participants explored leadership through images, symbols, and metaphors, visually expressing the values, emotions, and dynamics that define effective, empathetic leadership.

The collage reflects key elements of a resonant leader – someone who listens deeply, inspires trust, fosters emotional connection, and leads with clarity and compassion. It also illustrates the ideal team: diverse yet united, empowered, open to dialogue, and driven by shared purpose.

By using storytelling in a digital format, this activity helps young leaders and youth workers to:

* Visualize abstract leadership concepts in a creative and engaging way;

* Connect personal experiences with leadership theory;

Stimulate discussion and reflection within their groups or communities.

This method not only supports leadership development but also encourages creativity, collaboration, and emotional intelligence – essential traits for building strong, resilient teams.

Stop-Motion Video – "Authenticity in Compassionate Leadership"

# data[].attributes.body
This stop-motion video, titled "Authenticity in Compassionate Leadership," explores what it truly means to lead with both honesty and empathy. Created using the stop-motion technique, the video illustrates everyday leadership moments where staying true to yourself while caring for others makes a real difference.

The story reflects on how compassionate leadership is not about pleasing everyone, but about showing up authentically, expressing your needs and values clearly, and listening to others with empathy. It emphasizes that being a compassionate leader means:

Setting healthy boundaries without guilt,

Communicating with clarity and care,

And creating a space where every voice is respected.

Through simple visuals and symbolic storytelling, the video invites youth workers and youth leaders to reflect on how authenticity strengthens connection, builds trust, and helps navigate group dynamics with integrity.

This creative tool supports learning about Nonviolent Communication (NVC), emotional awareness, and the delicate balance between leading with compassion and remaining true to yourself—core qualities of a resonant and effective leader.

The aim of "The colours of feelings and needs" is to support people in acquiring and developing the ability to identify, express, interpret and reflect upon their own feelings and needs.

We equip practitioners: as educators, trainers and youth workers - with an innovative tool in the form of illustrated cards of feelings and needs.

By offering the set of cards which consists of 4 different painting styles we offer the tool which may reach a much wider public, each painting style is a different language of communication.
Everyone can find their own card.

The first part of the project - research, consisted of collecting visual expressions of feelings coming from different cultural backgrounds and minority groups of young people. We have analysed literature, social media and made workshops.

Based on the research outcomes 5 different artists with different art styles created a set of 160 illustrations representing 40 feelings in 4 different painting styles. And 96 illustrations of needs in digital design.

Cards were tested during several workshops in Poland and Germany.

The project was co-financed by Erasmus+ Program and hosted by ARTE EGO Foundation in Poland and GrenzKultur / Cabuwazi in Germany.

My paintings are abstract, however, are based on reality.
I give great importance to the form and aesthetics of my work.
I paint according to classic definitions of beauty where I am looking for visual balance.

The peace will not be boring, that dynamism will not become Chaos, the rhythm will not change into monotony.

These paintings are just surfaces covered with colourful blots with different textures. The surface is somewhere divided more, somewhere less, something emerges from the darkness, something dies in the light.

My name is Paweł Hulpowski Szulz, and I am the artist living currently in Lublin, Poland.

Through the social campaign, I have asked 40 different people to make selfies expressing one of 40 feelings.

Selfie captures face as a reflection in a mirror, this makes the portrait of a feeling more a feeling than a person. Out of these selfies, I painted 40 oil portraits on wood.

Behind those portraits are real feelings of real people. Each of them is a different journey. I was surprised by the process of painting.

My name is Dagna Gmitrowicz, and I am the artist fascinated by the nature and beauty of people, currently living in Berlin. www.dagna.space

Those 40 big format acrylic paintings on paper are the metaphors of feelings. Nature in a context of civilization.

In my work animals are the actors representing feelings. Additionally, there is an allegory of the poker deck, we can´t always control the intensity or timing of our feelings but we can decide how to play them...
I have chosen 8 specials playing card: 4 AceFeelings and 4 JokerFeelings.

I used mix-media, the ideal way to explain Feelings, where Feeling is not a solid piece. I can see each of them like a big mosaic integrated from many small pieces. I have used a highly glossy pepper on wich inks, acryls, oil pastel and all pieces of old paper are exposed to more immediate ageing and deterioration, thereby showing the vulnerable and delicate face of feelings.

The biggest discovery turned out to be a whole range of feelings - their weight, gradation, warmth and cold, brightness and darkness.
The feelings that are an invisible part of our lives. They are so obvious that we completely stopped seeing them, hearing, feeling.

Will my interpretation correspond with someone on the other side of the table?
Senses and feelings are intertwined. The perception of the world by a man with feelings is like a meadow overgrown with dozens or hundreds of species of grass essay and flowers. Sensitive to the gentlest breeze, hot sun, the first drops of rain carrying a saving relief. Or a violent summer storm, and a downpour that all rife into a dry thread carrying a cleansing. And in winter, feelings hide under a thick layer of snow or deep underground. They flow with the current of the river, some fight and force themselves to flow against it.

My name is Piotr Borzęcki, I am the painter and pottery artist, currently living in small-town Srtyków in Poland.

For the representation of these 96 needs, made with a graphic tablet, I had to study the importance of colours and shapes. It is like a game of colours and shapes, lights and shadows, fullness and emptiness.

The representations are mostly figurative, there is a lot of inspiration of human being, there is a reference to nature, plants, flowers and branches.

The goals of this project were accomplished in several stages of research. First, we delineated the 40 most common/known feelings. We wanted a universal view of the most familiar feelings, which is why we distributed a questionnaire online to anyone willing to participate, though we prioritized replies from youth. We received over 200 responses from participants from a wide range of countries.

Next, we organized a set of workshops for young people from Poland and Germany who belong to different social and cultural backgrounds. The workshops were run by our trainers who created a safe and supportive environment to help participants connect with their feelings and express them visually.
To ensure our research results had a more international and universal aspect, we organized an open social media call for anyone who wanted to join us in visually expressing their feelings and publishing it online on our social media pages. Simultaneously, we did a detailed literature analysis of the most current resources on the topic of the project. We consulted projects and magazines, as well as online resources where people published their own representations of targeted feelings and those of famous artists, which were all free to use by the public.
Finally, the final results of our research, i.e. the images we collected from the workshops, social media call and literature review, were used by the artists to create a set of 160 cards visually depicting the 40 most common emotions called "The Colors of Feelings and Needs".

How do you feel?"
"How would you express it with colours?"
Choose a pencil, grab a pastel, dip the pinsel.
Draw your inner world, follow the strokes of your emotions.
With this invitation, I approached people all around Europe collecting visual expressions of feelings for the research phase of this project.
I talked and painted with people from various backgrounds, in different contexts, from pop-up stations in public spaces to smoky empty bars, during an ecological demonstration or individual sessions on Skype.
The result is a huge collection of pictures that shows the diversity of our emotional vocabularies as well as the common threads of our visual imagination.

NVC Realms: Giraffe vs Jackal is a strategic card game inspired by Nonviolent Communication (NVC). It uses symbolic characters—the Giraffe, representing empathy and deep listening, and the Jackal, symbolizing reactive patterns and judgment—to explore emotional influence, connection, and communication.

The game invites players to navigate conflict not through force, but through self-expression, understanding, and emotional awareness. Players use cards that represent emotions, thoughts, and communication tools to engage symbolically with one another, aiming to reduce their opponent’s Resilience Points while staying connected to core NVC values.

The purpose is not to “win” by domination, but to practice strategic empathy, explore different communication styles, and reflect on how we show up in relationships and conflict. It’s a creative, playful way to learn about NVC, compassion, and the emotional dynamics of leadership and teamwork.

Exploring the Basics of Resonant Leadership

# data[].attributes.body
Exploring the basics of resonant leadership involves understanding how leaders can use emotional intelligence to connect with their team members, inspire them to work towards a shared vision and create a positive work environment.

It’s characterized by a strong focus on building relationships between the leader and those who follow and all about creating a culture of trust and mutual respect. It places a high value on empathy and active listening, understanding the need for two-way communication, as well as on delegation. It’s also a highly flexible, yet directed approach that supports creativity, collaboration, and innovation.

Resonant leadership encourages leaders to be open to feedback and to be willing to adjust their approach when necessary. It’s a style that emphasizes the importance of setting clear expectations and providing meaningful recognition for those who meet them and encourages leaders to be mindful of their own emotional state and to take the time to reflect on their own experiences and those of their followers.

This makes sense when we break it down.

‘Resonance’ refers to a phenomenon in which a vibrating object or system, such as a guitar string or a human voice, creates a sympathetic vibration in another object or system that is in close proximity. In other words, when two objects resonate, they vibrate at the same frequency, creating a harmonious sound.

Doesn’t that sound nice?

In the context of leadership, ‘resonance’ refers to the ability of a leader to create a positive emotional connection with their team members, based on the leader’s emotional intelligence and ability to understand and respond to the emotions of others.

When a leader is resonant, they create a positive emotional climate that inspires and motivates team members to work towards a shared vision.
