Chess Not Checkers: Elevate Your Leadership Game
Manage episode 224979904 series 2470576
Bargain bins are usually home to knock off sneakers, workout DVDs, XXXL- or XXXS -sized clothing, expired gourmet condiments, and misfit toys, but this week we struck gold by finding a copy of the management fable, Chess not Checkers by Mark Miller. This short fictional story about Blake, a former douche turned CEO, carefully balances leadership insight with cheesy story-telling. This is a fun discussion that includes, multiple movie/tv quotes, fond memories of our former purveyor of ointments, the strange overlap of crazy and genius, drinking like your grandpa, and the subtle art of getting employees to fire themselves.
