John Hope Bryant 
Love Leadership 
The New Way to Lead in a Fear-Based World

A dynamic young leader shows how leading with love and
respect creates success in business and life

Written by the founder of Operation HOPE and advisor to the past
two U.S. presidents, this groundbreaking book makes the case that
the best way to get ahead is to figure out what you have to
give to a world seemingly obsessed with the question: What do I
get? Aimed at a new generation of leaders and extremely relevant
for today’s economic climate, Love Leadership outlines
Bryant’s five laws of love-based leadership-Loss Creates Leaders
(there can be no strength without legitimate suffering), Fear Fails
(only respect and love leads 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), and Giving is Getting (the more
you offer to others, the more they will give back to you).

* One of today’s most influential leaders, Bryant has appeared on
Oprah and in articles in the LA Times, NY
Times, and the Wall Street Journal

* Bryant’s bold approach to leadership is well-suited for today’s
tough economic environment and a world gripped by fear and
uncertainty

* Outlines the innovative five laws of love-based leadership

Love Leadership is that unique and powerful book that
bridges the gap between solid business advice and pure
inspiration.
