Problem: The Dao is more dynamic and fluid, recognizing the need to navigate the duality of life-the Yin and the Yang-principles of life that are both complementing and opposing, such as dark and light, stillness and movement, sun and moon. The metaphor of water is often used in Daoism. Water is seen to be powerful, yet altruistic, as it serves others. It is modest, flexible, and humble, because by its nature it seeks out the lowest place. Lee, Han, Byron, and Fan (2008) noted that "we human beings, especially leaders, should learn from water because water always remains in the lowest position and never competes with other things. Instead, water is very helpful and beneficial to all things" (p. 90). Laozi viewed leaders as being servants and followers. "The more one serves, the more one leads. Leadership, first, means follower-ship or service-ship just like water. Second, leadership means non-intrusiveness or non-interference" (Lee et al., 2008, p. 90). Need Assignment Help?
