The Way of the Leader

He who knows men is clever;
He who knows himself has insight.

He who conquers men has force;
He who conquers himself is truly strong.

Excerpted from verse 33 in Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu, translated by John C.H. Wu

The Way of the Leader

Not to revere one's teacher,
Not to cherish one's charge,
Is to be on the wrong road, however intelligent one may be.

Excerpted from verse 27 in Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu, translated by John C.H. Wu

The Way of the Leader

Bend and you will be whole.

Excerpted from verse 22 in Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu, translated by John C.H. Wu

The Door to Leadership

Show others the fertility of the soil, thereby ensuring that any seeds planted there will not spoil.

The Way of the Leader

The greatest Leader is one of whom people are barely aware--humble and reserved. When the task is completed, everyone else says, "We did it ourselves!"

The Way of the Leader

The Leader does not rush into early ripening.
