The Tao Of Leading Effectively offers leaders of all types an invitation to round out and complete their portfolio of skills with an Eastern approach to our modern world. If you influence another person, you are a leader. Your effectiveness in influencing others begins within you. The rise of the East prompts us to look beyond our traditional horizons. The ever-increasing chaos of modernity calls us toward the need for wholeness and balance. Here you can explore ideas that prompt you to add another dimension to your skill set. This book offers the perspective and balance of a holistic leadership approach. It is not a call to abandon your current skills, but to augment them. Each verse from a new translation of the ancient Tao Te Ching is accompanied by thoughts and reflections to internalize slowly, line upon line. This is a book to be read and experimented with over weeks and months. As you move toward internalizing principles of the Tao into your existing strengths of planning, organizing and controlling, you will see the optimization of your people's full potential coming forth. Your powers of listening, observation, reflection and intuition will flourish. You will gain subtle yet pervasive power to keep the competing priorities and conflicting demands of your work in balance and harmony.
