New book coaches leaders on improving employee performance using the time-tested wisdom of China.
Cleveland, Ohio, June 5, 2007 -- Leaders struggling to improve employee performance can discover important strategies in the new book The Way of Leading People: Unlocking Your Integral Leadership Skills with the Tao Te Ching. Based on an emotionally intelligent interpretation of a 2,500 year-old Chinese classic, The Way of Leading People coaches leaders on how to build their emotional intelligence while improve employee performance in integral ways.
Organizations that want to save some of the over $360 billion lost every year in poor employee performance are using leadership strategies that were unknown less than 10 years ago. They include improving emotional intelligence skill-sets and learning to see leadership interactions from more integral points of view.
The 160-page book was written by leadership experts Patrick and Timothy Warneka, leadership coaches, consultants & principals of The Black Belt Consulting Group. Highlights of the book include over 85 full-page black-and-white photographs taken by Patrick Warneka. Tim Warneka is the author of the internationally-acclaimed Leading People the Black Belt Way: Conquering the Five Core Problems Facing Leaders Today and Healing Katrina: Volunteering in Post-Hurricane Mississippi.

Here's an initial review of The Way of Leading People: Unlocking Your Integral Leadership Skills with the Tao Te Ching by Patrick & Timothy Warneka:
"A New View of a Timeless Classic"
Always on the lookout for new sources of inspiration to give to their people at conferences and recognition meetings, executive management teams now have a new gem in their arsenals with The Way of Leading People: An Integral Interpretation of Lao Tzu’s Tao Te Ching.
In the grand tradition of elegant “coffee table” books, The Way of Leading People goes one step further and creates something both relevant and practical for business leaders, irrespective of industry. Yet this book’s amazing appeal will not be confined to the business community, but rather will extend to anyone open to new perspectives.
The pairing of Patrick Warneka’s breathtakingly beautiful black and white photographs with Tim Warneka’s unique approach to management and leadership insights results in a publication that delivers both aesthetic and informational significance. Patrick’s photographs urge the reader to discover nature’s essence in an urban setting, while Tim’s interpretation of the Tao Te Ching engenders reflection, evaluation, and perhaps even change. Marrying the two mediums—the words with the photographs—is an ingenious maneuver, and the end product has nothing less than a mesmerizing effect on the reader.
Each person who experiences The Way of Leading People will be influenced differently as they encounter the bridge between technology and nature, and as they are introduced to the benefits of unearthing such balance. But although every reader who travels the distance between these covers will be uniquely touched, everyone will feel a profound impact from this brilliant effort. Furthermore, any leaders who are fortunate enough to be given the opportunity of this book will find a wealth of wisdom and inspiration unexpectedly available, at their fingertips, which no one can ever take away from them—and which they can readily share with others.
In every sense of the word, The Way of Leading People is a gift to be treasured.
