Abstract: AbstractLove is a positive and powerful emotion. Freud once said that the purpose of life was “arbeiten und lieben” — work and love. Combining the two, loving what you do for work can be wonderful and essential for world class performance. But while love is a many splendored thing, it can also be abused. We see this in its extreme forms in the news from time to time; people who imprison their “loved ones” or who abuse them against their will. In the end, I think, love, like leadership, must be based on a voluntary response. If the other does not love you voluntarily and without pressure or need, how can you call it love? Likewise, if others do not follow you out of choice, how can you call it leadership?…
