The conceptual framework of transformative leadership developed by Nur University has had an impact in five continents on those who have studied it. What has been lacking in English are texts that explore each of its 18 capabilities in greater depth. This book, the first in a series that explores these capabilities with more detail, responds to that need, focusing on two of the capabilities that enhance relationships:
Imbuing thoughts and actions with love, and
Encouraging others and bringing joy to their hearts

Although we often think of love as a feeling over which we have no control, in fact we can decide to love and increase our ability to love. We begin by using practices that increase our thoughts of love, then learn to be more loving in our words and actions. This books describes a number of practices that can help us in this process.

Love, is also the basis for giving encouragement to others. To motivate others, we need to have attitudes of abundance and acceptance, coupled with positive expectations of others. These positive attitudes need to be accompanied by skills, such as praising effectively, helping others to understand the significance of their labors, giving them opportunities to develop their potential, and accompanying them with an appreciative gaze as they develop new skills and capabilities.
