Real Power – Business lessons from Tao Te Ching (By James Autry and Stephen Mitchell)

A book that provides new perspectives on ‘Power’
A very different leadership book that provides new perspectives on leading and managing

This is an interesting book written by two business consultants who have used the Tao Te Ching’s teachings to draw parallels to the business world in helping managers and business leaders understand what is power in an organisational context and how to exercise power to get results.

Everyone wants the power to control and the power to be in charge, but the authors argue that real power comes by letting go of the need to control. They thrash lot of conventional ideas around power and authority, drawing insights from the teachings of Tao Te Ching. It’s a refreshingly different book and a must read for those in managerial and leadership positions.
