Have you ever been hurt by the actions of your superior at work or in the church? Have you ever hurt someone who looked up to you for leadership? Having witnessed love leadership in action, as well as the breakdown of the New Testament "love commandments"
The Emergence of Love Leadership: A Working Model is based on Romans 5:5, "And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us." Love Leadership is a style of leadership employed by those who love the art of leadership.
The Love Leader, as an artist, works in the medium of the gifts of his team members, using the principles of covenant relationship as his tools. His masterpiece is an organization that accomplishes God’s purposes in both the team members and the organization.
Love Leadership is about influencing others to operate in the gifts and walk in the paths that God has ordained for His people. That is why we should all love leadership and why we should walk in love as a leader.
Love Leadership recognizes that "leader" and "follower" roles are not fixed. One person may lead another in one situation and then, at a different time or on a different task, the "leader" and "follower" roles may be reversed.
1 Corinthians 2:9-10 (King James Version)
But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

Ephesians 4:11
Prophet, Priest, and King are the three spiritual offices held by Jesus. These offices may correspond to the three functions of the leader within the leadership process described in the ebook. In the prophet role, the leader sees the vision and is the seat of creativity. In the priest role, he communicates the vision and develops the people who must run with it. In the king role the leader is the administrator who manages the organization. Both books are written by Jeff and Kim Booher.
