Love-Based Leadership: The Model for Leading with Strength, Grace, and Authenticity

by Dr. Maria Church

In a world where leadership doesn’t always know where we are headed, knowing how to get there can be even more challenging. In Loved Based Leadership, Dr. Maria Church builds and expands on her successful Loved Based Leadership model developed a decade ago. In this 10th Anniversary Edition, she explores the need for leadership based not on fear or intimidation, but on respect for self, respect for others, honor, and integrity. The need for care over competition is emphasized in a leadership style that rewards success while establishing an environment that cherishes individuality, support, and a safe and loving environment.

Based on the three pillars of Love of Self, Love of Source, and Love of Others, Dr. Church's book outlines not only the how but also the why of a leadership model built on what helps us succeed in life and business. This is the leadership model that can forever change how authentic leadership is perceived. Love Based Leadership shares insights on increasing power by sharing it and how to rebuild your organization’s leadership structure to strengthen it from within. The importance of trust, inspiration, and compassion and how they lead to innovation and success

This book was received as an ARC from Independent Publishers Group - Dudley Court Press in exchange for an honest review. Opinions and thoughts expressed in this review are completely my own.

I really needed this book right now. Being a supervisor in a library, I always question what does it take to be a good leader? Being new to a leadership position, I always find an opportunity to learn something new about leading a staff or team and deciding not only what type of leader but what type of person I want to be and having therapy and reading self-help books and now reading this book and the techniques Maria Church described in this book, I know I am on the right track. Every CEO, Manager, Supervisor should read this book and be reminded why they took the role in the first place.

We will consider adding this title to our Business/Self-Help collection at our library. That is why we give this book 5 stars.

I really enjoyed this book about love based leadership. The author brings up a few topics that are often thought about in corporations and in management. I enjoyed the aspect of meditation as well because this is something I try to do regularly as a corporate manager.

Thanks to Independent Publishers Group and NetGalley for a copy to honestly review.
