For leaders and followers alike
This collection of thoughts is a great inspiration to those with a desire not only to be a good and fair leader of others, but also to learn how to lead one's self to greater understanding and gain. This is not a book of gaining better control and manipulation in the office. It is a fantastic compendium of modern Tao and a great way to think about life in general.

One of the best books on Leadership I've ever read.
The Tao of leadership offers simple clear guidance on how leadership happens. I use the principles of this book in my therapy group leadership and training. Well worth the read. Do not expect tricks to perform, but rather personal philosophy that can affect all aspects of your life. Another reveiwer wrote that this book would be better if it were called the Tao of Life and less leadership centred. It's been done-The Tao Te Ching! This book offers the same material modified for any life leadership role. A good read.

Can't Lead Without It
I've used this book for over 10 years as my leadership support tool. As General Manager of a $200MM business, I need perspective and support on a daily basis - and Heider's book provides it. I love that the persective is NOT a management flavor of the week, but a view on leadership that stands the test of time.

I've given this book as a gift to peers, friends, and family for years - just purchased copies last week for my new staff. It provides us with a common framework and a vision of where we're taking our organization.

Thanks, Heider, for great thoughts, great lessons, and great leadership!
