Description

As organizations grow in volume and complexity, the demands on leadership change. 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. The book explores how the early days of an organization are like checkers, while the later stages require a strategic chess-like approach to leadership. The narrative follows Blake as he learns four essential strategies from the game of chess that transform his leadership and his organization. Publisher: National Geographic Books, Publication Date: 2015.
