Leaders who continue to play checkers when the name of the game is chess lose. On his journey, Blake learns four essential strategies from the game of chess that transform his leadership and his organization. The result: unprecedented performance, The international bestselling coauthor of The Secret shares essential lessons for changing your leadership strategy as your business evolves.
