This book offers the wisest business advice you will ever find — eminently practical and profoundly empowering. The Tao brings true freshness, clarity, and a love of work to employer and employee alike.

A remarkable constellation of qualities. A book to have near at hand, day by day, to savor a few pages at a time. It gives a threefold benefit: the wisdom of one of the worldís greatest texts, a magnificent contemporary translation, and the thoughts and hard-won experience of a tried-and-true business leader who is also a fine poet.
