Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu can be translated as The Book of the Immanence of the Way or The Book of the Way and of How It Manifests Itself. Lao Tzu, author of the book, can also be known as “The Master”. He has a form of government planned and wishes to everyone follows and support this plan. His main goal is simplicity and naturalness. When he thinks of a way to govern someone it comes to his mind the idea that the more rules and obligation you put to a person, the less they will do it. He just wants to have good relationship with his people and let them be happy and free.

A leader is the person who leads or commands a group, organization, or country. Laotse is considered a leader since he has a view of how a country should be control and wants everyone to understand and support his views. He, as a leader, has the ability to run a good country and make a good and unified society. When a person is forced to do something they usually wont do it or do it but with bad intentions or attitudes.

Comparing this with the Tao Te Ching, we can see that in Lao Tzu society he is the ruler but people don’t know it. “The Master doesn’t talk, he acts. When his work is done, the people say, “Amazing: we did it, all by ourselves!” (17). That is one of the greatest power he has. He can’t be perceived but still does his work.

Having this type of ruler makes a lot of sense because it shows how individuals could achieve their liberties through cooperation with each other.
His main intentions were to valorize the society and emphasizes a lot in voluntary co-operation. We have to belief in ourselves and follow our instincts.
