How Chess Teaches Us to Win in the Boardroom
By deeply observing the 64 squares of the chessboard, the different pieces and the variety of playing styles, one can learn many ways to succeed in business: strategies, tactics, and having the right mindset. A universe of knowledge about business, management, marketing and entrepreneurship is hidden within the game of chess, a pastime which has influenced humankind more than any other.
This is the third book authored by Zeev Zohar, an experienced and respected businessman and director of public companies, who is also known as a chess player and an international chess author who has won prestigious awards, competed in international tournaments and played against some of the biggest names in the chess world (including a draw against a former world champion in a simultaneous display). In this book, which is the first of its kind, he assembles his personal and global insights taken from the game that has captivated his heart and explains how they can be translated into success in business.
