Product Information

What I love about these, after digging into each, is that it's quite intuitive but hard to achieve. I also love that this is holistic. You cant go too heavy on any without sustaining and maintaining the others. If you have a manager’s mentality, you tend to treat people all the same. Leaders understand if you want to bring out the best in each person, you must treat them differently. Just like in chess, you will need to think deeply, choose wisely, and act decisively; every move counts. Excel at Execution—that’s how you ultimately win the game. It’s not the team with the most elaborate game plan; it’s the team that can successfully run the plays they call. And, they don’t just win—they become champions. I really appreciated how succinct this book was. It could have been four times the length and would have been a bit boring but this was perfect. I also really liked the lessons. Effectively coordinating the movement of chess pieces is vital for success. Players strive to create harmonious synergy between their pieces, enabling them to support and protect one another while maintaining strategic flexibility.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard leaders say, “This is how I lead, people need to deal with it!” Although there is a truth that employees need to partially mold to the leader’s style, the same applies to the leader. The leader has to partially adapt their style to what fits their people as well. Just like any relationship needs give and take to make it work, leaders and team members need to work together in their relationship to achieve a successful balance. This balance is all about getting the right people in the right place on the team. Great leaders develop the ability to identify the right person for the tasks at hand. They become master chess players who are able to move people to the right places.
