The question John Hope Bryant asks is if there can really be a place for something “as warm and fuzzy as love in the hard‐nosed, eat‐nails‐for breakfast, fear‐based world of business.” He argues that love not only has a place in business but also is absolutely central to sustainable success. Love leadership is a way of thinking and acting that acknowledges your selfish longings for success, yet also taps the hidden strength inherent in your personal insecurities and limitations. This article explains the five basic laws of leadership based on love.
The debate about wealth inequality continues to resonate worldwide. What may seem like an intractable problem still has possibilities for significant improvement if leaders in all sectors can work together and enact creative solutions, according to Bryant. He outlines the forward‐thinking viewpoints of executives from a variety of institutions, including the New York Stock Exchange, the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, the Small Business Administration, KPMG, the Arthur M. Blank Foundation, and such banks as SunTrust and Wells Fargo. Bryant quotes Martin Luther King Jr.'s belief that “injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”
