Leaders Love the Most
Leaders love the most. Haters ruin the most.
“All that I hope to say in books, all that I ever hope to say, is that I love the world.” E.B. White
Get out of leadership if you hate the world. Hide yourself away until you disappear in decay. But if you love the world, get busy.
The problem with the world is haters are energized and lovers are timid.
Leaders love the most:
#1. Negative emotions may point to love.
Anger means you care. Every successful leader I know is frustrated about something.
Examine your anger. Does selfish ambition fuel your anger or do you care about the well-being of others?
Sadness means you care. Disappointment means aspiration fell short. Congratulations if you tried to help.
#2. Positive traits point to love.
Love hopes. Hate gives up. When you hear, “Don’t give up. Keep trying,” you hear leadership. The best leaders always press toward positive outcomes.
Hope is fuel for grit. Leaders give up, not for lack of grit but because hope vanished. Hopelessness leads to hate.
Love is open-hearted. Hate forces compliance. Open-hearted leaders listen and change their minds. Closed minds defend, argue, and coerce.
An open heart takes you further than a clenched fist.
An open heart never bristles at being wrong because the desire for excellence is greater than the need to be right.
Love takes pleasure where hate resents. Always cheer when others thrive. Leaders love the most when they spotlight others.
#3. Love elevates worth.
Hitler was a remarkable – but worthless – leader. Hate leads toward destructive ends. Worthless leaders seek to ruin.
You elevate your worth when you serve the noble interest of others.
If you want to lead, care when others don’t.
It’s childish to say, “If you don’t care, I don’t care.” Don’t let others run your life.
What do you look to see when leaders love the most?

Crisis: 5 Ways to Fuel Progress When the Lights Go Out
Never trivialize crisis with frivolous optimism. Smart people roll their eyes at Pollyanna leaders. Acknowledge bad and work toward good.
The danger of crisis is magnetism. Crisis captures your attention, dominates perspectives, and pollutes attitudes.
Leaders who focus on negativity derail progress.
5 ways to fuel progress in crisis:
#1. Set people free:
When you say, “This is bad,” smart people sigh in relief. When you don’t acknowledge the beast, people focus on proving how bad things are.
Freedom to move forward begins after you embrace negative realities.
Solutions begin after you look the beast in the eye.
#2. Begin with what.
Don’t rush to assign blame when things go dark. The questions are…
- What’s happening?
- What are symptoms?
- What are root causes?
- What do we want?
#3. Explore who.
Solutions require accountability. Holding people accountable honors ability and maintains responsibility.
Don’t do other people’s jobs.
Identify harmful behaviors.
Three possible options when things go bad:
- Something was left undone.
- Someone did something wrong.
- Failure was unavoidable. It was the environment. Now deal with it.
#4. Design solutions and develop new skills.
Problems persist when people repeat disappointing behaviors.
Don’t double down on current behaviors when designing solutions.
Do you enjoy solving the same problems over and over? More of the same always produces more of the same.
#5. Add support to challenge.
Maximize potential by adding support to challenge. Too much challenge shuts people down. Too little challenge invites boredom.
Support new behaviors and skills with training, coaching, and accountability.
Appropriate stress wakes you up. Adequate support moves you forward.
Bonus: Speak aspiration into crisis.
Pessimists define problems. Leaders believe this could be their finest hour.
- Link correction to ambition.
- Avoid punitive action even when laying down the law.
- Say, “I’m counting on you.”
What do leaders do wrong when facing dark beasts?
