Synopsis
Say good-bye to the adversarial samurai managerial principles of the last decade. A new philosophy is sweeping the business world, one that's more in tune with a global marketplace, where cooperation, not competition, is the key to success.
The Tao Te Ching is often hailed as the wisest book ever written; for more than 2,000 years it has inspired and guided people with its precepts of harmony, communication, vision, and renewal. In The Tao of Personal Leadership, Diane Dreher combines its ancient wisdom with lessons from successful leaders to provide a practical road map to becoming not just good managers but great leaders. Illustrating her points with examples taken from real life, she explains the basic Taoist principles readers can use to make the most of their resources, transcend conflict, transform problems, adapt to change, and enrich their business, community, and personal lives.

Review
The 81 simple but profound poems of the Tao Te Ching have provided inspiration and guidance for some 2,500 years. Now, educator and consultant Diane Dreher has reinterpreted the timeless observations of Lao-tzu in an effort to give postmodern business leaders a novel yet practical road map to corporate management and personal fulfillment. The result, The Tao of Personal Leadership, proves the advice of the ancient Chinese philosopher is as relevant today as when it was written.
From the Publisher
It has endured because its principles are as real today as they were 25 centuries ago, for they reveal the patterns of living systems -- the flow of energy that occurs in the natural world as well as in individuals, families, relationships, institutions and nations.
In The Tao of Personal Leadership, Diane Dreher explains how, using the Tao, we can all become leaders, courageous and resourceful individuals who challenge and inspire people to fulfill their highest potential. Each of the principles in the book -- including vision, timing, respect, building community, empowerment and growth, communication, conflict resolution and harmony -- is reinforced by questions, personal exercises and examples of innovative leadership taken from real life.
With lessons that have stood the test of time, The Tao of Personal Leadership is a dynamic answer for facing the challenges of today's world.
