The ultimate goal for every leader should be to help their subordinates reach their goals and accomplish their dreams. A magnificent tool for this is to show them we care about them and their success. How do we achieve that is quite simple, by improving our ability to prove our love. 

In today's episode, I want to talk about the teachings I've got from a book that helped me a lot in the past, The 5 Love Languages, by Gary Chapman. The book explains that there are five different ways to accept and demonstrate love better. Each person is unique and has a singular reaction to every love language. 

Some people feel love and care when they receive encouraging words about their work; others might prefer to receive a gesture, a gift, or simply be heard for a couple of minutes. The challenge for us, leaders, is to identify which one of the five languages of love the people working with us speak and show them our support in that same language.
