I sometimes hope Tai Chi philosophy can be used as a leadership tool. And I think losing the mind might be one of them.
The theory goes, the body knows more about what’s best if the mind lets it. I think it’s true for an organisation and its leaders as well. If the leader allows the people to do what they do and know best, the whole organisation will benefit as well.
Unfortunately, what people associate office Tai Chi with is the ability to manoeuvre tasks from one person to the other. It’s even used as a verb in the office e.g.
“she just managed to Tai-Chi away all her job to that poor intern…”.
Never mind the intern, but Tai Ji is not about passing the buck. It’s so much more – if only it’s understood better.
If you think this is worth sharing, do share it with your friends. Thank you for reading.
