These are my musings on project management and life and how they map onto Taoist philosophy based on my book "The Way of the Project Manager" (ISBN 978-1481076111), published by CreateSpace and available from Amazon in hard copy and on Amazon Kindle.

68: Opportunities
Good leadership is about motivating people to achieve at the highest levels by offering them opportunities, not obligations. That is how things happen naturally, for this is the way of the project manager.
Lao Tzu tells us:
A good soldier is not violent.
A good fighter is not angry.
A good winner is not vengeful.
A good employer is humble.
This is known as the virtue of not striving.
This is known as the ability to deal with people.
This since ancient times has been known as the ultimate unity with heaven.
