JBLP Episode 30: Chess vs Checkers

JBLP Episode 30: Chess vs Checkers

July 4, 2023 Posted by John Barrett

Session Summary: In this episode of The John Barrett Leadership Podcast, I talk about the difference between being a leadership chess player and checkers player. Leaders understand that each individual is a unique piece on the board, requiring a tailored approach. Unlike checkers players, they avoid the one-size-fits-all mentality and instead strategically maneuver their team, unlocking the full potential of each player. I unpack the three things every leader needs to know about their team to be a master chess player. Enjoy!
