by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Health & Well-Being, Improve Academy, Leadership, Management, Personal Development, Workplace Learning Report

‘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.’

Philosopher and writer Alain de Botton wrote,
''I think where people tend to end up results
from a combination of encouragement, accident,
and lucky break, etc. etc.'

Encouragement brings out the best in people.
But to be successful, to grow, encouragement 
alone is not enough. You need more than that.
You need you to succeed. You need a healthy inner life
to succeed. 
And you have got to be willing to face your music. 
To get what you want, according to Dr. Henry Cloud, 
'...you have to go through a moment of pain to get 
to the place you want to be.' If you are willing to do it,
to face your pain, to face your journey, you can do it.
But you are going to be very patient with yourself.
Because great things take time.
