Love is a profound feeling of tender affection for or intense attraction to another. It is considered a deep, ineffable feeling shared in passionate or intimate interpersonal relationships However, in different contexts, the word love has a variety of related but distinct meanings: in addition to romantic love, which is characterized by a mix of emotional and sexual desire, other forms include Platonic love, religious love, familial love, and the more casual application of the term to anyone or anything that one considers strongly pleasurable, enjoyable, or desirable, including activities and foods USING LOVE LANGUAGES AS A LEADER The Concept: Motivating by Appreciation Why is feeling appreciated so important in a work setting? Because each of us wants to know that what we are doing matters. Without a sense of being valued by supervisors and colleagues, workers start to feel like a machine or a commodity. Why “Just Saying Thanks” doesn’t work For recognition and appreciation to be effective, they must be individualized and delivered personally. Appreciation needs to be viewed as valuable to the recipient in order to have an impact. Employees are more likely to “burn out” when they do not feel appreciated or emotionally supported by their supervisors. CAN YOU HAVE LOVE AS A LEADER?
