In this world of challenge and change, a vital leadership skill is to stay centered, to remember our purpose. The Tao tells us:
Thirty spokes meet at the wheel’s axis;
The center space makes the wheel useful.
Form clay into a cup;
The center space gives it purpose.
Frame doors and windows for a house;
The openings make the house useful.
Therefore, purpose comes from what is there,
Because of what is not there.
Tao Te Ching, Chapter 11
