Love for the People
Loving people under your leadership means you have their best interest at heart. You advocate for them because you want to see them succeed, and you are delighted for them when they do.
To truly love your people is to support, coach and guide them when they need guidance. It involves creating an environment where they feel safe to perform at their full potential whether working individually or as part of a team.
Love for the Business
Loving the business means you care about its growth. You plan for success and measure progress. Business love requires a leader who adapts to change, and manages stakeholder expectations.
