Two Brothers Release Modern Urban Update on Leadership Classic

  Cleveland, Ohio. May 15, 2007 --  A new book coaches leaders on improving employee performance using the wisdom of ancient China.

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. An modern update of the 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 ... all combined with the power of ancient Chinese wisdom. 

Set for a June 1, 2007 release date, the 165-page book was co-authored by leadership experts Patrick and Timothy Warneka, leadership coaches, consultants & principals of The Black Belt Consulting Group. The book includes a foreword by internationally known leadership expert Richard Strozzi-Heckler, author of many books including The Leadership Dojo and In Search of the Warrior Spirit.

"Organizations that want to save some of the over $360 billion lost every year in poor employee performance are using leadership strategies that combine the best of traditional approaches with the latest scientific research," notes Patrick Warneka, co-author of the book. These strategies include improving emotional intelligence skill-sets and learning to see leadership interactions from more integrated point of view. "Ken Wilber's brilliant integral philosophy has a great deal to offer the world," observes co-author Timothy Warneka. "We wanted to make Wilber's integral philosophy accessible to every leader."
