Legend has it that as the sage Lao~Tzu was leaving the country of Chou at the end of his life in the sixth century B.C.E., a frontier guard asked him to write something that would teach the art of living. The result was a text called the Tao Te Ching. It is the world's oldest leadership manual, written to help everyone who is in a position of power ~ farmer, landlord, parent, head of household, local politician, head of state ~ to turn that position into an opportunity for creating both inner and outer harmony. Widely considered the wisest book ever written, the Tao Te Ching shows leaders how to guide their communities to peaceful productivity and happiness. James Autry and Stephen Mitchell have now brought this wisdom to bear on the most significant arena of life outside family: work. "Management," writes Autry, "is a calling, a sacred trust in which the well~being of other people is put into your care during most of their waking hours." Real Power will change the way working people look at how they spend this time, and shows how to create an environment in which everyone's power can be expressed in order to produce the best results for everyone. Autry and Mitchell make clear the paradoxes of winning at work: that only when we learn to let go of the illusion of control can we empower others and ourselves; that conventional displays of power are the least effective ways to get things done; that helping our competition (inside or outside the company) can bring us the greatest benefit; that employees already have power in their skills, their commitment to their job, and their passion for their work. "In Real Power, Autry and Mitchell demonstrate that ancient wisdom is good business. This unique partnership uses the time~tested lessons of the past to enable success in today's business world. Real Power is a guidebook no serious person can afford to miss. It will change the way you work and deepen the way you live." ~RACHEL NAOMI REMEN, M.D. author of Kitchen Table Wisdom. Read the book straight through, contemplate a piece from the middle, or skip around to find what suits you. Each of the brief, poetic essays commenting on a selection from the Tao Te Ching carries an essential lesson which can be held throughout the day as a reminder of how to build an ideal environment. Integrating the elegant wisdom of Real Power can transform the workplace from a source of stress into one of deep creativity and even joy. Whether you're at the top of the corporate ladder, the middle, or the bottom, this guide will help you make your work fulfilling on every level from financial to personal.…
