LOVE‐POWERED LEADERSHIP: A PROVEN APPROACH FOR TRANSFORMATIVE ORGANIZATIONAL SUCCESS

Abstract The author is an executive coach and thought leader in innovative love‐powered leadership practices. He has developed and described “the Amare Way.” He believes that love‐powered leadership can work at all types of organizations, and in particular describes the successes of Alan Mulally as CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes and Ford Motor Company. Rather than being an amorphous process, love‐powered leadership is “about creating environments where people are respected, valued, and connected to a higher purpose. It is about aligning values with actions, building trust, and fostering resilience.” The Amare Way “synthesizes these insights into a practical framework that redefines leadership success, building on complementary frameworks like Conscious Capitalism and Servant Leadership.” He describes “seven essential principles” of the concept, which in his words are (1) treat one another well (2) inspire connection (3) get on purpose (4) respect money (5) choose love over fear (6) take the long view, and (7) prioritize relationships. Along with this are “Authenticity, Belonging, Collaboration.” He presents a table comparing Mulally’s Our “Working Together” © Leadership and Management System with the Amare Way framework. He notes that the latter “invites leaders to blend compassion with strategy, fostering organizations where people and profits flourish together.”
