The wise project manager is aware of what is happening in the team and acts accordingly. He does not try to be good, he just is.
The Tao
Lao
Tsu tells us:
A truly good man is
not aware of his goodness,
And is therefore
good.
A foolish man tries
to be good,
And is therefore not
good.
A truly good man does
nothing,
Yet leaves nothing
undone.
A foolish man is
always doing,
Yet much remains to
be done.
When a truly kind man
does something, he leaves nothing undone.
When a just man does
something, he leaves a great deal to be done.
When a disciplinarian
does something and no one responds,
He rolls up his sleeves
in an attempt to enforce order.
Therefore when Tao is
lost, there is goodness.
When goodness is
lost, there is kindness.
When kindness is lost
there is justice.
When justice is lost,
there is ritual.
Now ritual is the
husk of faith and loyalty, the beginning of confusion.
Knowledge of the
future is only a flowery trapping of Tao.
It is the beginning
of folly.
Therefore the truly
great man dwells on what is real and not what is on the surface.
On the fruit and not
the flower.
Therefore accept the
one and reject the other.
