Summary:

This book addresses the nature of passion and emotion as a part of the leader-follower relationship. Those who lead must establish the ability to understand others' hopes, desires, and emotional priorities in order to unlock their highest potential. Great organizations and effective leaders accomplish extraordinary results by obtaining the commitment and dedication of all of their members. Leading with passion most effectively means that a leader also understands her or his own motivations and develops the ability to use those feelings and emotions in healthy and constructive ways. Passion enriches and enlarges the capacity to feel strongly and to care completely. But passion must also be fully understood and regulated in appropriate ways for a leader to be most effective. We trust that those who read this book will enjoy its chapters and will contemplate the ideas, suggestions, and challenges contained herein. We encourage the readers to utilize their passions to live a fuller and more satisfying life themselves - and to use those same passions to bless and serve the lives of others.
