Every generation has its leadership classics, but did you know that one classic surpasses them all? Only the Tao Te Ching--written in China over 2500 years ago by the celebrated scholar Lao Tzu--has been translated more often than any text except the Bible.
Succeeding as a leader in today's global economy requires your understanding of Master Lao's practical leadership wisdom: accept what is; flow with the natural order of things; be alive to the present moment.
Prepare yourself for some pleasant surprises. The brothers Warneka, Patrick & Tim-leadership experts and martial artists-have updated Lao Tzu's classic leadership strategy, aligning it with today's global realities. Inspired by the modern urban landscape, THE WAY OF LEADING PEOPLE will unleash your integral leadership skills ... while teaching you how to successfully lead people into tomorrow.
