Written by the founder of Operation HOPE and advisor to the past two U.S. presidents, this groundbreaking book makes the case that the best way to get ahead is to figure out what you have to give to a world seemingly obsessed with the question: What do I get? According to John Hope Bryant, love leadership is away of thinking and acting that acknowledges your selfish longings for success and outside acknowledgment, yet also taps the often hidden strength inherentin your personal insecurities, your limitations, even your failings. Specifically, Love Leadership distills what Bryant has learned about love-based leading into five fundamental laws: Loss Creates Leaders: There can be no rainbow without a storm. That is, there can be no strength or inner growth without the pain of legitimate suffering. Most great leaders came to the wisdom to lead through lifes trials. Fear Fails: Fear-based leadership rules today's business landscape. But leading through fear is increasingly antiquated and self-defeating. It's a crippling indulgence that we can no longer afford. Love Makes Money:Love is central to success in business. In fact, the expression of love in business--that is, creating long-term relationships with your customers, employees, and community based on caring for others and doing good--makes you wealthy. Vulnerability Is Power: When you open up, people open up to you. Vulnerability is the door to your heart, and grants great power to those who are strong enough to leave that door open. Real leaders understand that vulnerability is not a weakness; in fact, it can be your greatest strength. Giving Is Getting: Leaders give--followers take. The more you offer to others, the more they will want to stay with you, share with you, protect you, and support you. Giving inspires loyalty, attracts good people, confers peace of mind, and lies at the core of true wealth. Aimed at a new generation of leaders and extremely relevant in today's economic climate, Love Leadership is a bold and contrarian guide to success in business.
