Introduction

Recently, it is common to hear about the rising attention of service leadership in working place, social institutions and government. People are concern how to satisfy needs by providing personal service to contact with them self, others and community.Leading self help developing individual behaviors and exploring leadership through actions, behaviors and interactions.

Leading others which is managing and motivating individuals and teams. And leading communities
is leading and managing more complex initiatives and teams (Tamera 2015). To define service leadership, it refers to formula of E=MC2 where M is moral character to provide service in accordance with social norms and moral codes, and C is caring disposition to be more sensitive to other's needs and more willing to serve, and the other C is competences of leadership of domain knowledge and skills to provide right and professional service (Shek& Yu, 2015).

Being a good service leadership, character is the most important part for people to care about others and communicate with others to form a good relationship. The study of character strengths is a major research of positive psychologists. Character strengths are sometimes labeled as soft skills, non-cognitive skills, character skills and social-emotional skills because of these strengths is learnt by practice rather than learning by teaching from teacher, parent and peers (Draayer, 2015).There are classification of 24 character strengths which is called the Values in Action (VIA) Classification has been developed and the study evaluates these character strengths across cultures (Biswas-Diener R, 2006).
These 24 character strengths make the life pleasure, engagement and meaningful and classify into six dimensions: wisdom and knowledge, courage, humanity, transcendence, temperance and justice. Among of these six dimensions of character strengths, I think the most important character strength is humanity that includes love, kindness and social intelligence.

Love other and beloved from other is most important in our life. If there is love in our community, the world will be changed and everything will be different.

Importance of love

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.” (1 Corinthians, 13:13) The bible stated that love is the most important in our life since the God created the world with all his loveand we need to love other as loved ourselves. If there are love in our relationship and beloved with other, we would thankful to the good thing that happen in our life and therefore feeling happiness in our lives as gratitude.

Love can be classified into three types: A selfish love, an exchange love and sacrifice of love. People who only get the love from others and do not pay their care to other people which is selfish and abominable. Using something to exchange the love from others which is ordinary in our society such as the love between friendships. People pay their time to build up a relationship with friend and get the joy with friend.

Love is also a powerful energy in world that it is not just an attribute of human beings. Plants and animals are also connected with this special emotion on the earth. Although there is no definition to define this unique feeling of love, it is characterized by a sense of attachment and affection towards somebody or something (Neha, 2015).
God make us with inborn quality to sense love including giving and feeling love.

For example, when a baby is born, parents pay much of love to their child even forget their hunger and sleep to take care of their baby. This sweet of love enables man to achieve the tasks in impossible since this enigmatic emotion is exceed all boundaries and has great potential to change lives of the people.

Using our heart as strengths to feel the emotion and connect with others would affect the satisfaction of life and work. Therefore, as a good leader, love must be including in his heart and who is able to offer the love to others in building the relationship.

Ways to enhance love in society

In today's life, we spend much of time in doing business, training our body physically and enjoying the food with friend. We almost neglect our personal growth in our lives and the life balance is not right in position. So that, it is important in developing deep and lasting self-love, acceptance and compassion in our lives. The more love we can feel and develop, it will be more to offer for others.

When there is a strong feeling of anger and pain in our heart, we should clam down and take away thepain with patience, love and an understanding. Fifthly, being good in feeling and imaging let us enjoy our life in better time. A good temper even appeared to deal with others if people find their life is nice with gratitude. Therefore, always gratitude with our body and feeling appreciation of the wonderful thingswhich create by God in the world is the ways of life style.

If we always thankful for the things happen in our life that would be happened in good way in our life since it is the rules of attractive in the world (Rhonda B. 2006). People who always say thank you to thing that would get beneficial in life.

Love can keep the relationship well and it can also destroy the relationship with others. It is hard and time consuming to build up relationship with others with acceptance and understanding, but it is easy to destroy in few minutes if there are wrong expression of attitude, words and voice as misunderstanding between receiver and speaker. As a good leader, it is possible to take care of subordinates to have an active listening of their need in order to provide them the right solution to solve the work and therefore let them to love and enjoy the life (Umeshi R. 2014). To build the relationship with active communication, both sides of parties need to pay much attention to focus on verbal expression and the kills of comprehension and interpretation through analyzing and evaluating, and then we can remember and respond to others with effective talking and listening.

So that, it is not easy to keep a relationship with love forever, and it need training and practicing in much time to keeps it for a long lasting.

Regarding the truth in bible to tell us that “Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.” (1 Corinthians, 13:7) We know that to love which need strong energy and strong belief in long lasting through this sentence. It is not easy to pay our love to everything in the world for human beings. Most people are pessimistic and they will give up when facing adversity and complain why there are lots of difficulties in their life.

They get lost in the situation with negative emotion and waiting for people who is full of positive power to encourage them and help them to overcome the difficulties. Although love is promoted in our community, it is not necessary for other people to help us to handle our matter and encourage us to overcome the adversity. People should try to face the matter by themselves and learn how to handle the emotion in sometime such as broken down the relationship of love.

We are able to make any important decisions in our life if love exists in our life and our society.

Experience of love in society

In my view, love is defined as using the heart to feel the environment and sense the emotional behaviors of human being. When we are born, the first love we can sense which is provided by our parents as feeding us the milk, helping us exchange the diaper and appeasing us with the negative emotion. Our parents pay all their love to us that mean they are willing to abandon anything to take care of us and let us to grow in a health and happiness atmosphere.

Once we have grown up, we can feel and learn other type of love such as build the friendship with classmate, fall in love with other and care about the elderly. Even more, love can be found in the connection between leader and follower. As a team leader, it is possible to build up prestige, and able to take care of others, self esteem is also important for manage the team member.

To conclude, love is the key factor of service leadership.
