Taoism is the western name for various related Chinese philosophical and religious traditions. Tao, or Dao, as it is sometimes pronounced, means "path" and refers to the natural order or "flow" of the universe. In a sense, Taoists seek to live lives of peace, integrity, and virtue in balance with the universe. Central to Taoism is the intriguing concept of wu wei or "non action." An example from martial arts might be the use of an opponent's force against them. Benjamin Hoff, author of the The Tao of Pooh (that's right, as in Winnie the Pooh), offers a different example. Hoff recounts a story in which a ball falls into a pond. The animals of the 100 Acre Wood try to retrieve the ball but are unable to reach it. Pooh, on the other hand, drops a large stone into the water and the resultant ripples carry the ball to the bank (this works in the real world too, by the way). In essence, Pooh has acted without acting, at least not directly. His solution is both elegant and almost effortless. Business, particularly the work of CRAs, is filled with seemingly unattainable goals. Problems arise without ready solutions. By stepping back, thinking laterally, and empowering team creativity, innovative answers present themselves. Jay Eidelman is a marketing and communications consultant |
