Selected answer:attuned (or 'tuned-in') leadership
Explanation:
Based on the following (from an interview with Goleman):

DG: Let's look at how an individual leader can be resonant first, and then at teams. First of all, if you are a resonant leader, you tune in to your own values, priorities, sense of meaning, and goals -- and you lead authentically from those, and you do it in a way that you tune in to other people's sense of values, priority, meaning, and goals. When you tune in to others, that helps them tune in to you. In other words, you create a climate where you can articulate a shared mission that moves people.

Explanation:
This was a term used in evaluations at a place I worked in the arly 1990s (pre-Goleman era); particularly the first line below sounds similar (associations with the sun god/hero).

Daniel Goleman on Resonant Leadership

One sign of resonant leadership is a group of followers who vibrate with the leader’s upbeat and enthusiastic energy. The glue that holds people together in a team, and that commits people to an organization, is the emotions they feel.

Resonance comes naturally to emotionally intelligent (EI) leaders.

Perhaps most important, connecting with others at an emotional level makes work more meaningful.

Each of the four domains of emotional intelligence – self-awareness, self-management, social awareness and relationship management – adds a crucial set of skills for resonant leadership.
