th Appearance on the List as Popularity for Bryant’s Business Principles Continues to Ring True in Current Economic and Political Climate

LOS ANGELES–(EON: Enhanced Online News)–LOVE LEADERSHIP: The New Way to Lead in a Fear-Based World (Jossey-Bass), makes the Inc. Magazine 800CEOREAD bestsellers list, climbing six spots landing at #11. Written by Operation HOPE Founder, Chairman and CEO John Hope Bryant, this month marks the record tenth time the book has made the list since its release in August 2009.

LOVE LEADERSHIP continues to attract an international audience as principles from the book have been the focus of discussions at the Roland Berger Strategy Challenge Club Meeting in Solna, Sweden, the FORTUNE/TIME/CNN Global Forum in Cape Town, South Africa, the World Economic Forum regional meeting in Tanzania, and the international OECD Forum in Paris.

 

 

Bryant’s book asserts that the best way to get ahead is to figure out what you have to give and demonstrates how leading with love and respect creates success in business and in life. Aimed at a new generation of leaders and extremely relevant for today's economic climate, the book draws on Bryant’s remarkable success story and on interviews with thirty love-based leaders such as former U.S. President Bill Clinton, Harvard Business School Professor, former Medtronic CEO, and Best-Selling author Bill George, HRH Crown Prince Haakon of Norway, Civil Rights legend and HOPE Global Spokesman Ambassador Andrew Young, and some of the last book interviews with the late Secretary Jack Kemp and the late civil rights icon Dr. Dorothy I. Height.

LOVE LEADERSHIP bridges the gap between solid business advice and pure inspiration. It outlines the five laws of love-based leadership: Loss Creates Leaders (there can be no strength without legitimate suffering), Fear Fails (only respect and love leads to success), Love Makes Money (love is at the core of true wealth), Vulnerability is Power (when you open up to people they open up to you), and Giving is Getting (the more you offer to others, the more they will give back to you).

A website for the book can be found at www.loveleadershipbook.com, where readers can connect via Twitter and Facebook. LOVE LEADERSHIP is also available digitally on Kindle and as an audio-book through iTunes.com and Audible.com.  There is also a new Love Leadership Online Photo Album on my Blog.
