I suspect you mean how to be loved by employees (the workers), not employers (the owners of the business).

 

If so, then why would you want that?  I mean, it's nice, sure, but it doesn't really matter, and chasing affection can have a bad effect on performance.

 

Even if you do really want to be loved, then I'm guessing that you want to be respected as well: i you are loved but not respected you are likely to be very ineffective, which will lead to problems with the employers.

 

The first steps in being loved by the employees are the basics:  be open, fair and consistent.  Look after the employees when they are in trouble, and try to understand what is going on.  Strong ordering and soft requests are both wrong: you should be clear and firm.  Encourage your team to tell you as soon as they know there is a problem, so that if one of your instructions is not going to be carried out you know about it in advance, and can address the problem so that the employee can complete the task.

WOW... A very interesting question

Unfortunately not many managers think to ask this question. Most of them ask how can they suppress their employers to get them do what they want them to do.

The general answer is do what you need to do to make them love you as a person. Then concentrate on:

- Love them too and make them feel that

- Respect them

- Be their when they need you

- Be their coach, their mentor, their monitor

- Inspire and motivate

- Treat them fairly

- Defend them 

- Show them how much you care

- Help them when they need that 

- Don't wait until they come to you, just go to them

- Don't close your doors

1. Long-term potential

Why it's important: Employees want to see their future within a company so they are motivated and excited about their career path, the company's future and their role in it, says Celia Santana, president of Personal Risk Management Solutions.

From the employer perspective, you want people in your organization to work their way up. It is best to have someone who is multidimensional and can grow with the company.

2. Ability to work well with others

Why it's important: "We spend a lot of time at work; there is nothing worse than someone who cannot get along with others," Santana says. "[It's] so important and involves being helpful, understanding the unwritten rules, being respectful, reliable and competent."

3. Ability to make money

Why it's important: Hiring managers want people who can prove that they will increase the organization's revenues or decrease its costs, Rothberg says.

"During a recession, revenues are difficult for organizations to generate and employers have typically already cut their costs about as much as they can. Their emphasis is on increasing their revenues."

4. Impressive résumé

Why it's important: "A résumé is a person's billboard; a reflection of the applicant in the eyes of the reader," said Jay Meschke, president of EFL Associates. "First impressions are lasting ones and a résumé is often the vehicle to either make a good impression or a poor one."

5. Relevant work experience

Why it's important: "Experience levels generally allow a person to hit the ground running without a lot of hand-holding," Meschke said. "Managers do not have time to mentor and train people as in the past."

6. Creative problem-solving skills

Why it's important: "Employers know that in business, the chessboard changes daily. As soon as we think all is fine, the economy changes or the competition makes a surprise move and the company's own strategy must change," said Mark Stevens, author of "Your Marketing Sucks" and CEO of MSCO, a global marketing firm. "A person who gets locked into a set way of doing things finds it difficult or impossible to adjust. They are a drag on the business as opposed to an asset for it."

7. Strong online presence

Why it's important: "Social networking has become the primary way that people communicate. But it is a double-edged sword. Employers have access to your personal life, likes and dislikes, political views, good and bad behavior. Because of that exposure and the speed at which information is distributed, it is important that you be digitally dirt-free, especially when job hunting," said Chris Laggini, vice president of human resources for DLT Solutions.

8. Multitaskers who thrive on variety of projects

Why it's important: "Business today moves at supersonic speed, and effectively managing a variety of different projects simultaneously is essential," said Susan Stern, founder and president of Stern + Associates, a public relations and marketing communications agency. "If an individual demonstrates a passion for learning new things and enjoys a variety of work, chances are she is also ambitious and inquisitive -- two qualities that are critical to success and advancement."

9. Enthusiasm and initiative

Why it's important: "If you show consistent enthusiasm and take initiative on the job, you can count on being noticed and rewarded. Every business looks to put their most enthusiastic people forward with important clients and customers," Stern said.

"By taking initiative, you convey a true team spirit and illustrate that you are not someone who simply meets the criteria of a job description, but who goes above and beyond what is required to help the business succeed."

10. Good cultural fit

Why it's important: Recruiters are pressured to find the right match for a company; applicants are under pressure to creatively differentiate themselves and demonstrate a desire to succeed, said Jenny Floren, founder and CEO of Experience Inc., an online recruiting community. "Hiring managers are particularly interested in how a candidate is going to adapt to their unique organizational culture."

An admixture of various skills is best for that. Know when to be diplomatic, when to be assertive and when to hold back.

By knowing when to be strong and when to be soft

Understanding to the job responsibilities and employers expectation will make easier to perform in admirable way.  Looking from both aspects (required and performed) then correcting, in case needed, will certainly develop a good relation and earn respect which reflects the love. Also to be pro-active with a clear vision to improve and develop rather than continuing in similar pattern.

First thing to do is to remove the term "I" 

Second, be the integral part of team rather than being a boss. 

I fully agree with the answers
