How to love

I'm wrestling with this question tonight. I had to deal with a particularly difficult situation with an employee today. I also started reading Love Wins. I feel like a paradox. It is difficult for me to keep the best interest of my organization and the best interest of my employees in mind when the two are in conflict with one another. I struggle with the application of loving people in the right way sometimes. How do I show love when there is no other option left to handle my employee's actions? Sometimes bad news just can't be wrapped in love gift wrap. Any suggestions?
