Resonant Leadership Most people recognize that a leader's humor plays a fundamental role in any company. Nevertheless, humor is usually seen as too personal and unquantifiable to be able to talk about it so significant. But recent studies in the area of ​​emotions have revealed not only how to measure the impact of emotions of a leader, but also how they manage better leaders to understand and improve the way of facing own and other people's emotions. Understand the powerful role that emotions play in the workplace highlights the best leaders of the rest not only in terms of tangible elements (better commercial results, etc.) it refers, but also, in what refers to intangible elements (high moral, motivation and commitment). The emotional task of the leader is primary in two ways. No It is only the original task of the leader, but also his work more important. If the leader arouses enthusiasm among people, performance of the latter will improve markedly. But, if the leader produces Anxiety and anger in people, performance will come down.Depending on the type of emotions the leader arouses, we will have:

1. Resonance: the leader arouses positive emotions.

2. Dissonance: the leader arouses negative emotions.

Obviously, a good leader wants to produce resonance. The key to doing so lies in the emotional intelligence of the leader. The Emotional intelligence has to do with the ability to manage one's own and other people's emotions. An emotional leader intelligent is able to influence the emotions of others with only the brain centers related to the emotions.

The first step is to understand the effect caused by the emotions of a person in others. We all have

ever experienced the emotional fall caused by the Bad mood of another person. Also, sometimes we feel inspired by the leader we work with. But why do we react so personally? After all, hunger alien does not necessarily make us hungry. So, How it is possible that the happiness or anger of other people have influence on us? Scientists have discovered that the brain center of

emotions is an open system, while hunger is a system closed. The latter is self-regulating and, consequently, the hunger of others does not make us hungry. What makes us react together when we are in a concert, is the open limbic system. This system is what leads us to rescue others when we hear a voice of help. There is much scientific evidence of the power of the system limbic For example, it is possible that the blood pressure of a patient get off thanks simply to the comfort he gives
The presence of a loved one. Other studies have shown that a person's mood It can be transferred to another. It is very common for members of a team end up sharing the same humor, good or bad, after a couple of hours working together. Thus, a single person can transmit emotional signals to another person or to a whole group of people, who can alter the functioning of the heart, alter hormonal levels, sleep and even the immune system. In others words, the open limbic system is a means of communication through which leaders can send messages amounts But on the other hand, if this is badly used, it can corrupt the performance of a team. Since it is a processsubconscious, it is very easy to lose control.

Leaders behave arbitrarily in front of their subordinates In fact, they have great power in this regard:
they can punish or reward; inspire or dislike; fire or promote, etc. So leaders exercise immense
emotional influence among his subordinates. Moreover, leaders speak more, are heard by more
people, are the first to speak, and usually make sense of group. People watch for them even when they don't they are talking. Simply put, the leader sets the tone. Emotional workplace. Therefore, it is important that the leader know what emotional tone you want to promote and why. Since people need to "read the leader", it must be open. You must be enthusiastic and passionate. You must have a good mood and your Laughter must be contagious. Scientists have shown that the Laughter is one of the most synergistic reactions of all. When One person laughs, the others laugh reflexively. The reason for This is that limbic systems activate each other. Thus, happiness or a “warm atmosphere” is transmitted Better than a depressive state. The reason for this is that the depression does not help us to complete our tasks, because it has a lower value for survival. While a negative mood is transmitted less easily than a positive one, it can be virulent once that starts. In addition, it takes hours to reabsorb the hormones produced by a depressive state. The emotions Negatives obstruct work. There are those who have had the experience of going to a company and perceive a "good atmosphere". It is considered that the simple fact of how a person feels working in a company It can influence from 20% to 30% in its performance. Also of 50% to 70% of employees attribute their mood to leader performance. So the leader really has control. Leaders can use their influence on emotions of employees, to improve the organization as a whole.
