If a member of the project team wants to pick a fight with you, consider the strategy of a great guerrilla leader, such as Fidel Castro or Che Guevara. Never seek a fight and if one comes to you, yield and step back. It is far better to step back than to overstep yourself. Your strength is your awareness of what is happening. Your weapon is the light of your consciousness.
The Way
The foolish project manager initiates the attack and is therefore off centre and easily thrown. The wise project manager has respect for any attacker. He advances only when there is no resistance. If you make a point, do not cling to it. If you win, be gracious. The wise project manager never surrenders their compassion nor uses their skill to harm anyone needlessly. He knows that in the end, the more compassionate will win.
I dare not advance an inch but prefer to withdraw ten.
This is called acting without action,
Seizing without weapons,
Pushing without resistance,
Managing without weapons.
There is no greater disaster than underestimating the enemy.
Underestimating the enemy,
I will lose my treasures.
Therefore when battle is joined,
The more compassionate will win.
