Mark Miller

As organizations grow in volume and complexity, the demands on leadership change. The same old moves won't cut it any more. In Chess Not Checkers, Mark Miller tells the story of Blake Brown, newly appointed CEO of a company troubled by poor performance and low morale. Nothing Blake learned from his previous roles seems to help him deal with the issues he now faces. The problem, his new mentor points out, is Blake is playing the wrong game.

The early days of an organization are like checkers: a quickly played game with mostly interchangeable pieces. Everybody, the leader included, does a little bit of everything; the pace is frenetic. But as the organization expands, you can't just keep jumping from activity to activity. You have to think strategically, plan ahead, and leverage every employee's specific talents—that's chess. 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!

Chess Not Checkers: Elevate Your Leadership Game

The business leadership expert and author of Chess, Not Checkers teaches you how to cultivate leadership for your growing business.

You don't need to hope that leaders emerge from the ranks of your organization or that search firms can find the leaders you need in a timely fashion. Hope is not a strategy! In Leaders Made Here, Mark Miller teaches you how to build an organizational culture that will ensure your leadership pipeline is full and flowing. He offers clear, proven, and replicable strategies for nurturing leaders throughout the organization, from the front lines to the executive ranks. 

To bring his ideas to life, Miller uses the story of Blake, a new CEO, and Charles and old friend and colleague, as they search for the best practices from around the world to ensure a continuous supply of their most precious asset – leaders. Blake and his team then translate their findings into a practical plan that any organization can use to create a leadership culture, sustained competitive advantage, and long-term success.
