Chess Not Checkers: Elevate Your Leadership Game (The High Performance Series)

Chess Not Checkers: Elevate Your Leadership Game (The High Performance Series)

As organizations grow in volume and complexity, the demands on leadership change. The same old moves wonâ€™t cut it any more. In Chess Not Checkers, Mark Miller tells the story of Blake Brown, newly appointed CEO of a company troubled by poor performance and low morale. Nothing Blake learned from his previous roles seems to help him deal with the issues he now faces. The problem, his new mentor points out, is Blake is playing the wrong game.

The early days of an organization are like checkers: a quickly played game with mostly interchangeable pieces. Everybody, the leader included, does a little bit of everything; the pace is frenetic. But as the organization expands, you canâ€™t just keep jumping from activity to activity. You have to think strategically, plan ahead, and leverage every employeeâ€™s specific talentsâ€”thatâ€™s chess. Leaders who continue to play checkers when the name of the game is chess lose.

On his journey, Blake learns four essential strategies from the game of chess that transform his leadership and his organization. The result: unprecedented performance!
