The wise project manager nurtures the team, cooperates with them and is their servant. Potency comes from knowing what is happening, freedom comes from obedience to the natural order. This way the team is happy and the project is in harmony with nature.
The Tao
Lao
Tsu tells us:
These things from
ancient times arise from one:
The sky is whole and
clear.
The earth is whole
and firm.
The spirit is whole
and strong.
The valley is whole
and full.
The ten thousand
things are whole and alive.
Kings and lords are
whole and the country is upright.
All these are in
virtue of wholeness.
The clarity of the
sky prevents its falling.
The firmness of the
earth prevents its splitting.
The strength of the
spirit prevents its being used up.
The fullness of the
valley prevents its running dry.
The growth of the ten
thousand things prevents their dying out.
The leadership of the
kings and lords prevents the downfall of the country.
Therefore the humble
is the root of the noble.
The low is the
foundation of the high.
Princes and lords
consider themselves orphaned, widowed and worthless,
Do they not depend on
being humble?
Too much success is
not an advantage.
Do not tinkle like
jade,
Or clatter like stone
chimes.
