Tao In You

Embrace simplicity.
Put others first.
Desire little.

                                                Lao Tzu Tao Te Ching 19

One of the most powerful ways of getting an organzation to work is to make things simple.  Make your vision clear, easy to follow. 

And then, get everyone in the organization to think about customers and team work. 

Desire little, just do what’re right! 

If you can do so, your organization and people will transcend their limits in no time.

… Tao of leadership …

Are you the boss?

If you have to tell people that you are, you are not.

“The best leaders are those their people hardly know exist.
The next best is a leader who is loved and praised.
Next comes the one who is feared.
The worst one is the leader that is despised …

The best leaders value their words, and use them sparingly.
When they have accomplished their task,
the people say, “Amazing!
We did it, all by ourselves!”

Lao Tzu Tao Te Ching (17)

Tao of Leadership …

If you want your people to serve your goals, serve them first. 

Serve your people, and they will serve you well.

The sage puts himself last;
And finds himself ahead.
He detaches from himself; 
And find himself united with all things.

Lao Tzu Tao Te Jing, Chapter 7 

… tao of leadership … tao meaning

What do the best of leaders do?

Pick the right men for the job, and let them get the job done.

“The best leaders are those their people hardly know exist.
The next best is a leader who is loved and praised.
Next comes the one who is feared.
The worst one is the leader that is despised.

If you don’t trust the people,
they will become untrustworthy.”
