One of the things that is so core to our Managing with Aloha philosophy relates to your question, “Do you love the people you lead?” In our training we talk about this relentlessly in regard to recruitment and hiring, getting managers to understand that they must like the people they hire and admire them. The prevailing thought that “I don’t have to love them, just work with them,” is wrong, wrong, wrong.

Caring is vital for great management and great leading: we cannot discount it, and we need so much more of it.
