Real Power: Business Lessons From the Tao Te Ching
In recent years, visionaries and profiteers alike have attempted to apply the 81 simple but profound poems of theTao Te Chingto everything from sports training to pet breeding. James Autry, an award-winning author and respected former CEO, and Stephen Mitchell, whose previous work includes theNew York TimesbestsellerTao Te Ching: A New English Version, have applied these poems in a meaningful way to the world of business.Real Power: Business Lessons from the Tao Te Chingis a stimulating interpretation of this ancient classic that will provide the guidance and inspiration missing from most modern management texts. Addressing contemporary business situations with the wise paradoxes that are the hallmark of Lao-Tzu's 6th-century work (such as "fill your bowl to the brim and it will spill; keep sharpening your knife and it will blunt"), the two propose an ageless approach to the workplace that deals uniquely with various issues of our time like compensation, competition, training, and downsizing.--Howard RothmanEND--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
