Dr. Annie McKee is the Founder and Managing Director of Teleos Leadership Institute, executive coach, author and faculty member at the University of Pennsylvania. She advises some of the largest corporations in the world. A scholar on the cutting edge of leadership, organizational culture and change, she is dedicated to making good leaders better and world-class corporations even more successful.

Dr. McKee's latest book, "Becoming a Resonant Leader," a follow-up to "Resonant Leadership," is a hands- on guide to developing emotional intelligence, renewing relationships and sustaining effectiveness. She also co-authored "Primal Leadership: Learning to Lead with Emotional Intelligence" with Daniel Goleman and Richard Boyatzis.

With engaging speeches and interactive seminars, Dr. McKee demonstrates that "the best leaders create resonance- a reservoir of positivity that inspires passion and motivates people to perform at their best. She believes that resonant leaders do more than simply chart a strategy or manage resources-they move people, creating a deep emotional connection that is characterized by hope, a shared belief in compelling vision, and a sense that together, we can achieve anything.

During her presentation for NIH, Dr. McKee will be sharing her insights about the following:

The fact that change is here and is here to stay!
What it takes to be a great leader
Myths and the truth about effective leadership
Tools for sustaining personal success and resonant leadership in the face of today's challenges

This seminar is one of many efforts at the NIH in striving for management excellence and is designed to bring outstanding speakers to the NIH to discuss leadership and administrative management topics. It will provide administrative and scientific communities with the opportunity to meet with each other to discuss and exchange ideas on the topics presented.
