This is the Tao of the Crown. It is a way of life. This is exactly how I want you to think about the text you have in your hand right now. This book will impart the knowledge to use the Crown Control System for long term relationship management. The difference in this system from any other out there is that by the time you finish this book you will know how to screen, direct, and guide those idle, and toiling slaves, into roles that matter for you long term. The work you do here will get you accumulated to the various expressions of our culture in ownership and possession. The power of a MC is tempered only by accountability of their life, and authenticity derived from the Tao. Through this work you are being welcomed into a community. You are not alone. Learn through the journey and discover others through following the Tao of the Crown. This book informs the masses that we walk among you, and we laugh because most people are so apathetic they do not care.

This book is about humanizing business. In contrast to the mainstream modern management and leadership literature, this book provides distinctly humane perspectives on business. The volume travels outside the world of business to explore what Humanities – such as Philosophy, History, Literature, Creative Arts, and Cultural Studies – can offer to business. Renowned scholars from different Humanities disciplines, as well as management researchers exploring the heritage of Humanities, convey what it actually means to make business more humane. The book strives to humanize business. It aims to show that it is not people who have to suppress their human feelings, aspirations, and beliefs when they are at their workplaces, but it is business itself that needs to be redefined by the human norms of human beings. Companies should care about their employees and other stakeholders letting them be themselves, i.e. be human, at work and beyond. The book will be of interest to management scholars across various business disciplines. It can also be used as teaching material in the classroom with MBA students, especially in Business Ethics, Business and Society, Sustainability, Organizational Behavior, Human Resource Management and other management courses. The volume will also be of interest to scholars that work in different Humanities fields and whose interests span organizations, management, and business. Finally, many practitioners in the business world, especially those in managerial and leadership positions, will find the book both thought-provoking and useful for them as well.
