Abstract

This chapter presents the seven things ‘love’ is and the eight things ‘love’ is not from 1Cor 13 and applies the 15 statements to leading and managing in contemporary organizations. Throughout 1Cor 13 Paul uses the word Agape for love, which implies that the concepts are about the beliefs from which behaviors (Agapao) would emerge.
