Love is essential to human existence and experience. As both a verb and a noun, love stands out as one of those rare words straddling two parts of speech. As a noun, it is a name, and as a verb, it is an action. Neither static nor lame, love acts as a unifier where division exists and helps mend broken bones. To love something is to care deeply and commit profoundly to its overall growth. Love heals wounds and transforms bleak situations into ones filled with limitless hope.
Love is not a one-time choice—it is a process. In fact, it is a journey of a lifetime. As Diane Ackerman once enthused, “Love is the most important thing in our lives—a passion for which we would fight or die, and yet we’re reluctant to linger over its names. Without a supple vocabulary, we can’t even talk or think about it directly.”

While discussing the five dysfunctions of trust through Patrick Lencioni’s work last week, today we explore the relationship between love and trust. We began by examining trust and why invulnerability is antithetical to building it. Trust, as we noted, is the foundation of real teamwork. According to Lencioni, building trust in environments where people only showcase their strengths while hiding their weaknesses is counterintuitive.
This means that people must embrace the gift of imperfections. As Lencioni posited, “Great teams do not hold back with one another. They are unafraid to air their dirty laundry. They admit their mistakes, their weaknesses, and their concerns without fear of reprisal.”
In other words, unless team members embrace vulnerability, building trust becomes an uphill task. It begins with being open—about everything and anything.
For one, Amofin Beulah Adeoye is an open-minded leader. He speaks his mind without fear, interacts freely with others to gain valuable perspectives, and happily relates with people regardless of their social class.
To him, communication forms an integral part of his being, and commitment is one of his core strengths. Out of love for Oyo State, Amofin has dedicated his life to its development.
This state has immense prospects and potential. Only a leader like Amofin Beulah Adeoye holds the key to unlocking these prospects and unleashing the giants within its potential.
