Leadership with a Twist of Yoga (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780963856081)

How do you create cooperation? What makes people give you support? How do you turn reluctant employees into willing participants? Whether you are an entrepreneur, manage a non-profit, or work for a large corporation, if you supervise people this book is for you.

Author Shar McBee had never received leadership training when she was suddenly put in charge of managing over 500 people. It was hard. Then a wise mentor taught her a yogic secret that made it easy to get people to say yes.

In Sanskrit, yoga means union. Yoga is not a twisted body, nor someone lying on a bed of nails. It is not a technique nor an exercise. Yoga is about being in balance....stilling the fluctuations of the mind, according to the ancient definition in Patanjali's Yoga Sutras.

As a leader, you need balance so you no longer reel between hope and fear, expansion and contraction, pain and pleasure, success and failure. When you are in balance you function at your best. Your natural abilities flow out. You have more energy and experience more happiness and contentment. When your body, mind, emotions and energy are in alignment, you'll do the best work and be the best that you can be as a leader. When you are out of balance, you are a big mess.
