Lao Tzu and Confucius Meet Heisenberg

The book provides a foundation for a new leadership vision and style, based on moral renewal, greater cross-cultural understanding and global harmony, and is truly thought-provoking for business leaders and management researchers.

This highly original book offers a new philosophy and vision of higher purpose for leaders facing the immense challenges of the 21st century. By exploring Western quantum physics and traditional Chinese thought, leading management thinker Danah Zohar develops an emergent, new East/West vision that leads not just to global co-operation but to an exciting and revolutionary global-co-creativity.

Taking complex ideas and presenting these in a highly engaging and readable way, this book offers the most recent thinking of Danah Zohar's quantum management theory. It demonstrates how the roots of this new philosophy and sense of higher purpose are both ancient and modern, drawn from traditional Chinese thought that had its beginnings thousands of years ago and from quantum physics, first discovered at the beginning of the 20th century. The new generation of quantum management is characterised by being more holistic, dynamic, and humanistic. Written in a very accessible way, Danah vividly demonstrates the advanced nature and scalability of quantum management by using real-world examples.

This book provides a foundation for a new leadership vision and style, based on moral renewal, greater cross-cultural understanding, and global harmony, and is truly thought-provoking for business leaders and management researchers.
