Most businesses are run in a Yang-centric, or out of balance, fashion. From Alchemy Pages, we get these definitions.
Yang Tendencies are:
contraction
fusion
organization
assimilation
gathering
composition
integration
Whereas Yin Tendencies are:
expansion
diffusion
dissipation
dispersion
separation
decomposition
disintegration
If we hold on to things strongly, we achieve little results. If we let go and allow things to occur, we accomplish much with little effort. Why would we want separation, decomposition, and disintegration? Because they are natural. When ideas, programs, ways of seeing things do not work out, we should let them go. When we let them go, more effective strategies come into place.
Tai Chi can teach your management about these principles.
Think about how your Sales, Marketing, Customer Service, Management, IT, Programming, and HR departments are working in unison. Is one more Yin or Yang? Or moving closer to balance? From the above mentioned site, look at these ten principles of Yin/Yang. Do you embody them?
1.) Oneness, God, the Mother-Father Creative continuously manifests two tendencies of dynamic spiritual activity which are always and in all places and times under the continuous guidance of the One. Together, these three are manifest in 'The Ten Thousand Things"; that is, all visible and invisible phenomena of the relative world.
2.) The two tendencies are called yin, centrifugality and yang, centripetality.
3.) Yin attracts yang; yang attracts yin.
4.) Yang repels yang; yin repels yin.
5.) At their extreme of movement, yin changes into, or produces yang; likewise, at the extreme yang changes into, or produces, yin.
6.) The greater the polarity between yin and yang, the greater the force of attraction between them. The more alike two phenomena are respect of yin and yang, the greater the force of repulsion between them.
7.) Yin and yang are constantly changing into one another.
8.) No phenomenon is completely, absolutely yang, or completely, absolutely yin. All phenomena are permeated with both yin and yang tendencies.
9.) No phenomenon is neutral, that is, perfectly balanced. Yin or yang is present in excess in all phenomena at one time or another in dynamic interplay.
10.) Under the guidance of the One, all inter-relationships of yin and yang are always tending toward a dynamic balance.
Oh, and don't think about it, the way isn't revealed through thought.
