Lead Change with Your Ways

| The Tao Chapter 58 – My Interpretation |

Leadership that considers the interconnectedness of souls yields harmony among people.

Leadership with a controlling hand yields a spirit of intolerance.

Demanding behavior through the force of law does not change a man’s heart.

Instead, lead as a model.

Let your manner be direct and focused, yet compassionate and soft.

Let your ways be the example that changes men’s heart.

As I read Stephen Mitchell’s translation of the Tao Te Ching daily, I reflect and document my interpretation with the intention of living the Tao.

Note: If you choose to use the link above to get a of the Tao, I will receive a small portion of the proceeds to contribute to my work. The purpose of this post is not for you to buy the Tao.  That is your choice. The purpose is to share my inspiration. That is my intention.
