Synopsis: As we wrap up one of the toughest years imaginable, we are finding many in our workforce are worn down by stress and worry, and morale is down. In LOVE LEADERSHIP, I make the case that there are two things in the world; there is love and there is fear, and what you don’t love you fear, and the reason that the world is all screwed up is that many of our so-called leaders have led by fear. I show leaders how to break away from the long-standing leadership style- one based on fear. Instead, I suggest that the best way to lead in both your professional and personal life is to figure out what you have to give others in a world obsessed with the question “what do I get?”
