Why is the Song Greatest Love of All a Top Choice as a Song for Leadership? Love in Corporate Leadership?

'Quamplurimi et quam aptissimi" (As many as possible of the very best)

Why is love part of discussion in Leadership?  Isn't this odd? Having love in a steely cold corporate environment is strange and  a contradiction.  This is not taught in other GSB. Maybe only AGSB does.

But this is IGNATIAN  Leadership training, and this subject is an an AGSB advantage.  And to add love as a component of leadership.  The idea of a company as a Compania in Lowneys Heroic Leadership - a gathering of friends rather than a gathering of politically motivated backstabbing, intriguing, gossiping hordes (tinitira ka ng patalikod!)

Here are the lyrics by Masser



(l. creed/m. masser)

I believe the children are our future    - Leaders are born, the earth must be saved for our children
Teach them well and let them lead the way    Leaders are made/taught/trained
Show them all the beauty they possess inside   - Leadership from within
Give them a sense of pride
To make it easier
Let the children's laughter              - living curious, being innocent, reminds us of Jesus love for                                                                      children
Remind us how we used to be       -  our genogram
Everybody's searching for a hero   - we look for role models
People need someone to look up to   -   we need great leaders;  leadership deficiency  is by factor of                                                                   200%
I never found anyone who fulfilled my need              we need leaders who care
A lonely place to be
So I learned to depend on me        )     authentic leadership
Chorus:
I decided long ago                                leaders make great decision and we must learn decision                                                                           making
Never to walk in anyone's shadow )    authentic leadership
If I fail, if I succeed               )
At least I lived as I believe    )             leadership is a  series of ups and down, success and failure
No matter what they take from me
They can't take away my dignity   -    authentic self
Because the greatest love of all
Is happening to me                        -    leadership journey
I found the greatest love of all inside of me    -  Love as a pillar of heroic leadership -  Lowney
The greatest love of all
Is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
Is the greatest love of all
(repeat 1st stanza and chorus)
And if by chance that special place   )   A leader dreams, envisions leads his people to a new place of                                                                     change, where his people has not been before
That you've been dreaming of           )   A leader imagines, envisions, innovates is ingenious
Leads you to a lonely place
Find your strength in love     - one of the pillars of leadership.  Indeed a leader finds strength in love

Reflection on the Hotly contested song, "Greatest Love of All"

'Quamplurimi et quam aptisimi" (As many as possible of the very best)



The sponsors of the videoke cum gesture, guess the next three letters said that this song is on the list top leadership song.  Let us examine the lyrics:   (copied from Metro Metrolyrics )

I believe the children are our are future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be
Everybody searching for a hero
People need someone to look up to
I never found anyone who fulfill my needs
A lonely place to be
So I learned to depend on me
