2. THE 5 LAWS OF LOVE LEADERSHIP
Loss Creates Leaders
(there can be no strength without legitimate suffering)
Fear Fails
(only respect and love lead to success)
Love Makes Money
(love is at the core of true wealth)
Vulnerability is Power
(when you open up to people, they open up to you)
Giving is Getting
(the more you offer to others, the more they will give back to you)

3. LOSS CREATES LEADERS
When you experience loss and realize that you can come out the
other side, it builds up enormous strength within you. In today’s
world, most people are attempting to find strength from things
that are outside of them: money, power, titles, cars. Most of the
things that make a leader are on the inside: integrity, wisdom,
confidence, vulnerability, joy, passion, compassion, intuition.
These things come from life experiences, from life’s trials, from
the deepest part of a person’s soul. Your scars help to build your
authentic self
There can be no strength, no real inner growth, without the
pain of legitimate suffering.

rainbow without a .”

4. FEAR FAILS
Fear doesn’t work. In the long term, letting fear motivate your actions—how you treat others,
how you conduct business, how you live your life—leads to failure. Fear comes from the most
primitive part of what psychologists call the reptilian brain, the part of the brain that governs
instincts, heartbeat and breathing. It takes no work and no intelligence. Love comes from the
most advanced part of the brain, the forebrain, the region that thinks, remembers and finds
meaning. Fear is actually lazy, it requires no thinking!
“Fear lies behind two major
motivators: and greed.”

It takes the power of love to banish fear.

5. LOVE MAKES MONEY
There are only two things in this world: love and fear. The third law of love
leadership—love makes money— breaks down into a set of interlocking
and related goals: creating long-term relationships built on caring for
others and in service of a larger good. Each goal is guided by love. When
you operate this way, the by-product can’t help but be prosperity for
everyone, which naturally leads to money for you, too.
Love follows one of the primary laws of money: currency without
circulation has no value. Likewise, love without circulation has no value.
Love is an action. Love is doing. The action necessary is doing good.
“Authentically connecting with people and building relationships
have the added benefit of translating into increased opportunities and long-
term financial gain for all involved.”

6. VULNERABILITY IS POWER
Vulnerability is the door to your heart, and being vulnerable grants
important benefits to those who are strong enough to leave that door open.
Vulnerability shows that you are human, and it makes you loved—and all
great leaders are, at their core, deeply human and much loved. That’s why
people follow them. It’s the source of their power. Rather than ceding
control to others, being vulnerable actually puts you in the driver’s seat.
You’re not waiting around for anyone else to open up, to get in touch, to
care. You see what’s needed and you do it, out of care for others.
“You pull people in your direction, rather than push them. They follow you
because they are drawn to your and your actions."

7. GIVING IS GETTING
The fifth law of love leadership translates into a long-term commitment to
serving others, starting with serving those who work in your organization and
expanding out to serving your partners, vendors and customers, and the
world. It fundamentally requires that you serve without expecting anything in
return—because it is the right thing to do. Giving is getting. The reality is that
the more you give, the more you receive as well. It’s a natural law of life.
There have been many studies done on the theories of leadership. A very
popular one was from Douglas McGregor at MIT’s Sloan School of
Management, called Theory X and Theory Y.

8. THEORY X SAYS:
People are inherently lazy and avoid work responsibility whenever they can.
People work only under conditions of external coercion and control, which is a
manager’s job to provide
People are only out for themselves and won’t work without incentives or the threat of
punishment
People know less about their jobs than their supervisors do

9. THEORY Y SAYS:
People may be hardworking, self-directed and responsible in meeting their goals, if
they are committed to those goals
People are more productive without rigid rules and procedures
People are inherently motivated when work meets some of their higher-order needs,
such as the need for self-fulfilment or the satisfaction of doing a good job
People usually know more about their jobs than their supervisors
