I highly recommend this book for managers. Given to me by a friend when I was dealing with personnel issues at work, The Tao of Leadership became a quiet companion in my interactions with co-workers. John Heider has beautifully adapted the Tao Te Ching by 5th century Chinese wisdom teacher Lao Tzu. There are important lessons here about balance, yielding, silence and how things happen.
Excerpt: “Since all creation is a whole, separateness is an illusion. Like it or not, we are team players.” (#39, The Source of Power, p. 77)
