‘Leading people is a lot like creating work family. There are joy and tears, fun and fears.’
‘Love matters. It matters because with all that we have learned with respect to phenomenal leadership approaches, models, and philosophies, we still fail.’
‘When we fail to recognize the human need and capacity to love, we fail as leaders.’
‘Love is the crucial component in our lives, and our very survival depends upon its presence.’
‘Leaders who love create environments of compassion and caring.’
‘When people in the workplace are bonded by love, they forged solid bonds with one another that keep them together.’
‘Love enhances the feeling of ‘us’ along with a sense of purpose.’
‘When love is present, when care for one another rules, and when there’s an abundance of empathy, organizations take on the very human qualities toward which we should all strive.’
‘Love knows no titles. And hanging our importance or stature on the title in front of our name serve no purpose other than to inflate our ego.’
‘We depend on one another.’
‘We need one another.’
