Cleveland, OH – February 11, 2008. Asogomi Publishing International and the Midwest Book Review are pleased to announce that Asogomi’s The Way of Leading People: Unlocking Your Integral Leadership Skills with the Tao Te Ching by brothers Patrick Warneka and Timothy H. Warneka has been selected for the Midwest Book Review on-line review magazine, MBR Bookwatch. This is the second time that Midwest Book Review has featured The Way of Leading People. The first time the book was featured on the MBR website was in the August, 2007, Small Press Bookwatch.

Patrick and Tim Warneka, the co-authors of The Way of Leading People are real-life brothers (Tim’s older). The Warneka brother’s interest in Chinese leadership strategies stems from the fact that they are both black belts in the martial arts. Patrick’s is in Tae Kwon Do while Tim holds ranking in Aikido. Tim Warneka contributed the writing, while Patrick Warneka added his award-winning photographs.

“We’re very proud to have The Way of Leading People selected by the Midwest Book Review,” said co-author Timothy H. Warneka. Keynote speaker and leadership expert Tim Warneka is author of several leadership books including the best-selling Leading People the Black Belt Way: Conquering the Five Core Leadership Problems Facing Leaders Today, and Healing Katrina: Volunteering in Post-Hurricane Mississippi and his newest book on Catholic Servant Leadership entitled, Black Belt Leader, Peaceful Leader: An Introduction to Catholic Servant Leadership. Tim’s book’s have sold around the world, and Tim is a well-known motivational keynote speaker across the country.

“The Midwest Book Review [MBR] is a well-known champion of independent presses,” observed Patrick Warneka. “Getting recognized by MBR is fiercely competitive, and I’m pleased that The Way of Leading People had the rare honor of being chosen for the second time.” Patrick Warneka is an award-winning photographer based out of Chicago, IL. One of the “Top 100” photographers on Art.com, Patrick’s past clientele have included The University of Michigan, Colgate and several prestigious law firms from the greater Chicagoland area.

Patrick and Timothy Warneka have recently announced their availability for keynote speaking. “We’re the only actual brothers we know of who provide keynote speeches together,” noted Tim. The Warneka brothers have made themselves available for speaking on creativity and the creative process. “Writing and photography both require creativity,” observed Patrick. He went on, “We know there are many conferences, associations put on by writers, photographers, graphic designers, painters, singers, musicians, dancers, martial artists and other creative types who are looking for qualified keynote speakers.” An experienced keynote speaker himself, Tim said, “Patrick is hilarious … and creative. You can see his creativity in his photographs. I know I’m his brother, but I personally think he’s a genius at photography. I’ve been trying to get him into keynote speaking for some time, and I’m glad he’s finally agreed.”

Here is the text of the review in full:

“’Let's play Follow the Leader!’ Perhaps you remember playing this game when you were younger. Didn't we all want to be the leader? In fact, were you disappointed when you weren't chosen to be the leader? We can't all be leaders all of the time. Imagine if we all wanted to be leaders in the workplace. You can't all be leaders as there has to be some followers. Perhaps you have been placed in a position of being a leader and aren't quite sure what qualities a leader should possess. What should a leader do in order to have his followers walk alongside him to success?

Are all leaders always successful? No, they aren't. It is a smart leader who realizes his mistakes, makes changes and leads others in the right direction. "The Way of Leading People" seeks to convey the Tao Te Ching method of leadership. It is over 2500 years old but remains effective to this day. Not only can these principles be utilized in business, but also in relationships and life.

"The Way of Leading People" is a soft-cover manual. This is not a textbook by any means. It is written in very easy-to-understand language and is sure to help any of its readers. There are 81 sections in content. Each section is written in poems with the ideas of Tao Te Ching clearly presented. Each section has black and white pictures of large skyscrapers and other abstract art to add to the ideas. It is sure to make you think and evaluate just what a successful leader is. This is an excellent book for anyone who is currently a leader, hopes to be a leader or is a follower who wants to help his leader become more effective. "The Way of Leading People" would make an excellent addition to the reference section of libraries of businesses and families alike.”
