In my quest to help Women to renew their leadership mindset with fresh fire and purpose, I have discovered after years of development and firsthand experiences, that the ultimate key to Women’s success is the effective power of LOVE.
Love is our nerve center. Love is our fuel. Love is as necessary as air, food and water. Love has everything to do with how we see ourselves; how we interact with others and how we perceive the world. Love is the driving factor behind all of our major personal, professional and faith decisions. Love motivates our overall success and our performance.
Without Love, the Woman can dysfunction. Yet, with Love, there is no limitation to what a Woman can do! None!
Why is this important from the business perspective?
This kind of information is important, because one of the top issues facing businesses in the 21st century is the underutilization or misuse of Women in our society and workplaces. If we expect to see continued longevity in our organizations; sustained growth in our economy and advantageous progression in all industry sectors, we must give the Women in our professional spaces the kind of Love that can flourish within our corporate buildings, co-working hubs and virtual offices.
There seems to be an automatic inclination to believe that Love has no place in our boardrooms and team meetings without losing sight on profitability, but I submit to you that we can no longer afford to leave our most skilled asset in the lobby of our business matters. For Love is more than an emotional conduit for our hearts, it is the most powerful, diverse, effective and high-performing resource available to the global family.
Just imagine if Love’s unlimited authority and influence were invited as the helm of our organizations. How much more cohesive would the relationship between c-suite leadership and direct reports become? How much would company loyalty, leadership development and internal promotions escalate?
Significantly!
Just imagine if Love’s infinite awareness, understanding and insight were at the forefront in our policies, procedures and processes. Would sexual harassment, bullying or workplace violence still be a thing? Would we still have a need for emotional intelligence or diversity, equality and inclusion training? Would matters of equal opportunities and equal pay still be up for debate?
No!
Just imagine if Love’s unlimited benevolence were embedded in our core values. Would demonstrating value, respect, appreciation and empathy stop being an internal struggle for us? Would our internal and external stakeholder relationships become stronger? Would our customer service and satisfaction efforts skyrocket? Would our value proposition and customer referrals go up?
Yes!
Just imagine if Love’s ever presence was actively evident in our operations and teambuilding efforts. Would employee engagement, morale and productivity increase? Would team collaboration, synergy and communication improve? Would leaders finally lend their talent the room to grow in the roles they were hired to fulfill with autonomy and potential for upward mobility?
Absolutely!
Employing Love’s creative power and innovation as a function is easier than we are willing to admit and poses no threat to our business model’s ability to scale. For those of us willing to partner with Love possess a courage to do business in great waters. The key is becoming skillful in wielding Love to abolish all inequities in our hallways. The key is perceiving that Love is a gamechanger that gives us an edge to be:
Powerful in leadership
Fully present for our teams and stakeholders
Innovative in our goods, services, concepts and inventions
Knowledgeable in industry trends and technologies
Benevolent in our community service.
So, I have said it before and I will say it again…always choose Love! For it is beautiful for every situation!
