The early days of an organization are like checkers: a quick game with mostly interchangeable pieces. Everybody does a little bit of everything, the leader included, and things are so frantic
you just have to react as fast as you can. But as the organization expands, you can’t just keep jumping from activity to activity. You have to think strategically, look ahead, leverage every
employee’s specific talents. That’s chess. Adapting four strategies from the game of chess, Miller reveals four moves high-performance organizations make. They bet on leadership, act as one,
win the heart, and excel at execution. Chess Not Checkers is an accessible and easily applied guide to help leaders elevate their own leadership and the performance of their entire team.
