    About this ebook

    BOOK DESCRIPTION

    This book delivers practical advice to manage people and teams into a business. Managers constantly have to deal with emotions- love and even fear, of the teams they lead, without necessarily having any academic training to respond to these challenges.

    In light of such argument, I wrote this book with a series of recommendations to take decisions based on the book “The Art of Loving,”by the renowned philosopher and psychologist Erich Fromm, born in 1900 in Germany.

      The art of managing with love, according to Erich Fromm - Claudio Pardo Molina

      DEDICATION

      I dedicate this book to all the managers in the XXI century conscious of the new economy, which combines human values in contrast with the materialistic vision of the past century.

      He who knows nothing, loves nothing. He who can do nothing, understands nothing. He who understands nothing is worthless. But he who understands also loves, notices, sees... The more knowledge is inherent in a thing, the greater the love... Anyone who imagines that all fruits ripen at the same time as strawberries, knows nothing about grapes.

      PARACELSUS

      ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

      ––––––––

      To my inspiring muse and mother of my five children, Giannina Colombo.

      BOOK DESCRIPTION

      This book delivers practical advice to manage people and teams into a business. Managers constantly have to deal with emotions- love and even fear, of the teams they lead, without necessarily having any academic training to respond to these challenges.

      In light of such argument, I wrote this book with a series of recommendations to take decisions based on the book The Art of Loving, by the renowned philosopher and psychologist Erich Fromm, born in 1900 in Germany.

      TO MANAGE WITH LOVE

      It is well known that business management is a difficult job, so you should not expect to find in this book the recipe to manage with love. As I wrote in the title, managing people is an art rather than a technique. And in my opinion, the power of this art grows when we think, speak, and act with love towards the people who work with us.

      Regardless of our level of maturity in business management, I believe that managing with love is an art because it grows perfect with time. Managing with love may also be achieved with perseverance, courage, faith, humility and discipline.

      Managing people, just like any other human relationship, will grow perfect only if we want it to. It is a process to go from apprentice to master in this art of managing with love. And assuming that the reader is skeptic of this hypothesis, I ask that you think for a moment about the influence on your own commitment to work, the fact that a former boss of yours, was fond of you.

      If you go back mentally to your childhood, you might remember that the school subjects that you loved most, came from the teachers that you were fond of.

      CHAPTER 1 – THE ART OF MANAGING WITH LOVE

      ––––––––

      IS MANAGING WITH LOVE AN ART? To answer this question, I will have to break it in 2 parts to (1) analyze whether management is an art, and (2) based on the answer of that analysis, I will deepen into the sensitive subject of managing with love.

      Is managing people an art? If the answer is positive, it needs proof, formal education, and discipline. Or maybe the thought is that managing people only needs a technique- a graduate degree in business management and a masters. Another idea is that managing people is an innate, inherited capability acquired almost by chance. In this book, I will develop the idea that it is an art, and with no intention of taking worth from the need to formally learn a technique, or that there may be natural-born leaders, those are examples that may not be generalized – they are exceptions.

      So the good –or bad, news is that if someone is selected for, or enjoys managing people, they must clearly understand that their task will be to learn while doing. In other words, if you think that making a career in business management with a university education will be the key to your success, my answer is, it will not. A higher education is only a necessary condition. However, it will not be enough to succeed in accomplishing your organizational goals. It is a pity to see that most people think that having a degree and graduating in a masters in business management, is the key to manage people. That is the kind of people that think that management is a technique and not an art, and they take the idea of managing with love as something ridiculous.

      It is unbelievable
