Lead Like Water

Two thousand years before "servant leadership" had a name, Laozi wrote the original manual on leading without force.
I'm a senior engineering leader at a Fortune 500 tech company — and I've spent decades testing that manual in the real world: high-stakes negotiations, cross-functional deadlocks, careers that stall and recover.

Here's what makes this channel different: I don't teach the Tao Te Ching you can buy in a bookstore. That version was edited, censored, and softened over centuries. I work from the earliest manuscripts — bamboo slips buried around 300 BC and silk scrolls sealed in a tomb for two millennia — where Laozi's advice is sharper, more practical, and surprisingly modern.

New videos on influence without authority, strength without aggression, and getting more done by doing less.

Water doesn't compete. It wins anyway.
