LOVE this (pun intended). Mary's comments are right in line with Kouzes &amp; Posner's The Leadership Challenge. In fact, the LEADERLOVE quote I've been sharing today is: "The best-kept secret of successful leaders is love: staying in love with leading, with people who do the work, with what their organizations produce, and with those who honor the organization by using its products and services. Leadership is not an affair of the head. Leadership is an affair of the heart."

Thanks, Mary, for reinforcing the importance leading with love -- love for yourself, love for those you lead, and love for those who add to your leadership experiences. May you have a lovely day!
