I agree with the author's description of force leadership. I see trade as trade, not as a form of leadership. In love leadership, I see the leader being the union of the participants as they bilaterally establish a respectful, compassionate, loving cooperative effort. My marriage is often love leadership as we have become a loving, respectful, working together team. What helps me elevate leadership to love leadership is seeing us who are in some joint project as in it together, being respectful and kind to one another, expressing and valuing one another's contributions, and seeing us as peers. A full love leadership necessitates peership. In any hierarchical or older generation-younger generation situation (such as parent-child, boss-employee, teacher-student), love is important and makes the situation more enjoyable and perhaps more productive, but the parent or boss or teacher is the in charge leader so it's not a love leadership in the fullest sense.

Amen! (However, if the teacher/leader uses his/her position in a way outside of Love ... students/subordinates beware. What is motive? It's all about doing what is right and good!)
