Love Works by Joel Manby offers a welcome change of pace from typical leadership books. Manby’s core message – leading with love (agape) – is inspiring and challenges traditional notions of what it means to be a strong leader. As someone who leads with love, I was curious to hear others’ adventures in the arena of leading with love.
The book’s strength lies in its easy readability and Manby’s engaging personal stories. The seven principles he outlines are clear and actionable. I found myself particularly impressed with his emphasis on forgiveness and building trust.
However, I would have liked to see a deeper dive into implementation. The book focuses on creating a positive culture, but it could benefit from more practical guidance on handling difficult situations or measuring the impact of these methods.
Overall, Love Works is a worthwhile read for anyone in a leadership position, especially those looking to build a strong company culture. But if you’re seeking a nitty-gritty playbook for tackling complex workplace issues, you might want to look for something more complementary.
