Success Can Be a Hindrance To Our Development

“Having a good reputation or becoming well-known for your work can be a hindrance to your further development.” Says John Heider  in The Tao of Leadership , a translation of the concepts of the Tao Te Ching – the premier book of wisdom from China.   

At first you may say “What is this guy talking about?”  Pause a little bit and think.  If we are committed to keeping our position of success, we may put too much stock in the criticism or praise of others.  We want to continue to be known as successful.  Therefore we may choose actions that are seen as successful rather than the more effective action.

This is another example of Asian philosophy telling us to do what really works rather than what makes us look good.  Makes sense to me.  How about you?
