Tai Chi in the workplace can be used by organizations to increase their effectiveness.
The most important part of an organization is its people. Tai Chi can bring health benefits, reduce stress and encourage clearer thinking. This can take place through group activity which enhances people's ability to perform as a team and via partner work which improves communication skills. Individuals can learn to understand and welcome change.
There is a clear connection between the way we manage our physical body and managing an organization. It is easier to push than to pull. Managers can learn how to lead by following - developing a transformational as opposed to a transactional approach. Change management is difficult but leaders can develop the ability to remain calmly centered whilst instigating change. The development of balance in leadership styles leads to more efficient movement by managers and staff.
Drawing on sources such as the Tao Te Ching and Sun Tzu (The Art of War) the relationship between the Eastern approach and Western psychological theory can be examined. Thinking and feeling approaches can be studied and understood. Patience and the ability to await the opportunity can be learnt from the study of full and empty, identifying what is substantial and what is insubstantial. The knowledge of when and how to apply the right techniques leads to the Natural Way where things can be in harmony.
