What's LQ Got to Do With Me?

 

Why Love Intelligence Matters in the Age of AI

“What’s this got to do with me?”

That is often the first reaction when people hear the word love in a business or leadership context. Love, after all, seems far removed from performance, productivity, or profit.

Yet this question itself reveals a deeper misunderstanding of how results are actually created.

For decades, we have been taught that success comes from intelligence, hard work, strategy, and now technology. In the age of artificial intelligence, that belief has intensified. We are told to upskill, reskill, and optimise faster than ever before.

But look more closely at what is happening in organisations today.

Why do people with similar skills produce vastly different outcomes?
Why do some teams thrive under pressure while others collapse into conflict and burnout?
Why do capable professionals stall, while others keep attracting opportunities?

The difference is not competence.

It is human state.

Every outcome begins not with action, but with the state of the human heart and mind from which action flows. When that inner state is unstable, fearful, or disconnected, even the best strategies fail.

This is where Love Intelligence comes in.

Love Intelligence is not about romance or emotion. It is the ability to use love as a strategic force, to stabilise people, inspire ideas, drive collaboration, and turn human energy into sustainable results.

The Hidden Cost of Working Without Love

Many people work for money, recognition, or survival. That is understandable. But work that is disconnected from love eventually turns into inner conflict.

Without love for the value we are creating:

  • decisions become short-term

  • ethical boundaries blur

  • stress accumulates

  • burnout becomes inevitable

People may still perform, but the cost is invisible, until it is not.

In Love Intelligence, I argue that success without love is fragile. It looks strong on the surface, but it is built on internal depletion. Over time, money begins to control choices, rather than serve purpose.

Love Intelligence restores alignment, between values, actions, and outcomes. It allows people to pursue results without losing themselves in the process.

Why AI Makes Love Intelligence More Important, Not Less

Artificial intelligence has changed the rules of work. Tasks once performed by humans, analysis, reporting, content creation, can now be done faster and cheaper by machines.

But AI cannot replace certain human capabilities:

  • making judgment under uncertainty
  • resolving conflict without escalation
  • building trust across differences
  • leading people through ambiguity

These are not technical skills. They are human capacities rooted in emotional stability, courage, and connection.

In other words, they are expressions of Love Intelligence.

The future belongs not to those who use AI most aggressively, but to those who can align people around AI. Technology amplifies human intent. Without Love Intelligence, that amplification often leads to division, fear, and misuse.

The Secret Under the Mattress: Why would a 79-year Man Bet So Big on 4D?

It was 2007 when we discovered his secret. While moving my father’s mattress, we found them: heaps and heaps of Singapore Pools 4D tickets. They were stacked in layers, a paper trail of lost hopes. What shocked us most wasn’t just the volume, but the stakes. He wasn’t betting a few dollars for fun. He was punting hundreds of dollars per draw—nearly ten times a month. At the time, my siblings and I were furious. Our father was a 79-year-old retiree. We wondered, with a mix of anger and confusion, why a man at his stage of life would need to win such "big money." What was he going to do with the money? We saw it as a reckless habit, a sign of poor judgment in his final years.  Some of us would say, "If I were to give him money to buy 4D, why don't I use the money and buy 4D myself?  At least I have better discipline".  It has taken me two decades, and the experience of raising my own three grown-up children, to finally see the truth that was hidden under that matt...

Have You Found Your Sun Yi and Teresa Teng?

I n the long, unfolding history of the Chinese-language music scene, "The Moon Represents My Heart" 月亮代表我的心 stands as an unsurpassable milestone. Yet, the journey of this globally renowned masterpiece, a song that would eventually captivate the world, was fraught with setbacks: it was once dismissed as "trash" by its own creator and tossed into a wastebasket, later suppressed by official policy as a "banned song ," and initially failed to gain any traction when performed by two different singers. The dramatic turnaround in this song’s fate is not merely a musical legend; it offers a profound life lesson: the greatest stroke of luck in life is not about how perfect you are, but about encountering the "right people", those who truly understand you, support you, and help you realize your potential, at exactly the right moment. I. The First "Right Person": A "Talent Scout" Who Recognizes Your Worth In the early 1970s, composer T...
