LOVE LEADERSHIP bridges the gap between solid business advice and pure inspiration. The book 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).

Barry Kibrick is the host and producer of Between the Lines, where he interviews famous novelists, distinguished authors, screenwriters, and award-winning journalists. Previous guests include sports legend John Wooden, Oscar award-winning screenwriter Randall Wallace, and abstract romantic artist, Kamran Khavarani.
