Today's working life is changing all the time. Organisations are looking for managers and leaders who can bring the best out of their people. In times of austerity, recession and having to 'do more with less', this is no easy task. The I Ching however, can help. The ancient Chinese oracle: The I Ching; 'The Book of Changes' has been around for over 3,000 years. Amazingly it is just as powerful today as it has been throughout the millennia. The I Ching is not magic. Nor is it for the weak minded or gullible. It is a way of enabling anyone with a receptive mind to see their personal situation reflected in the images that the oracle provides. The oracle enables those who look, to see their circumstances in a new light. It provides a truly moral way of going forward, neither too strongly, nor too weakly but in harmony and balance with the time. The oracle itself has no power. The power comes from the psyche of the reader who can intuitively understand the meaning within the words."

Often referred to as the Eranos edition, this revised and updated translation offers the most substantial advance in I Ching since Richard Wilhelm introduced the oracle to the West in the 1920s. The I Ching is one of the oldest Chinese texts and the world’s oldest oracle. Accumulated from over 2,500 years of diviners, sages and shamans and born out of the oral tradition, the I Ching as we know it today is a collection of texts, imagery and advice, philosophy and poetry, divided into 64 chapters. There are 64 hexagrams, created from a collection of six lines, either broken or solid. In order to “read” from the book, you must cast a hexagram. The traditional method required yarrow sticks but nowadays is based on tossing three coins six times. The Original I Ching Oracle or Book of Changes was inspired by Carl Gustav Jung's insights into the psyche and researched for more than 60 years through the Eranos Foundation of Switzerland. It presents the oracular core of the I Ching as a psychological tool: the symbols interact with our minds in the same way dream images do.

Dick, and Philip Pullman, the I Ching is turned to by millions around the world for insights on spiritual growth, business, medicine, genetics, game theory, strategic thinking, and leadership, and of course for the window it opens on China.

The Leadership I Ching is a scholarly yet practical edition of the I Ching both for beginners and seasoned practitioners. The special focus of this divination guide is upon leadership, self-leadership and leading others. The central concern of the author is to help the reader to understand the I Ching from a point of view of decision-making, and as an aid to decision-making. In this sense, the 'oracle book' becomes an effective guide for taking action, which can mean bold action, nonaction or retreat. The wisdom is to arrive at right action, in whatever form it has to be carried out. The difference between the Eastern approach and the Western leadership approach to leadership is obvious. In the West, only going forward with a project is considered as the correct action to take. Notions such as nonaction or retreat are easily connoted with character weakness or procrastination. However, such a limited approach can lead one into an impasse and can even potentially be dangerous. This is why the integrated approach developed from timeless wisdom makes much more sense, for it engages one to develop a flexible attitude. The book comes with a practical guideline how to easily make divinations, it explains the base structure of the I Ching and why it works, and it includes a complete interpretation of all 64 hexagrams.
