Ever wondered why some leaders are in a league of their own while others just blend in?
It's not about working harder, but smarter. Think it's all about experience? Think again.
Here's the real deal… Exceptional leaders aren't just bosses; they're like chess grandmasters in the corporate world. They've mastered the art of strategic thinking, seeing several moves ahead.
While the average leader focuses on daily operations, the exceptional ones are enhancing their mental agility, making decisions that are not just good for now, but great for the future.
They recognize patterns, predict outcomes, and understand their team's dynamics like no one else.
And it's not just about their team; they see how everything is interconnected in their organization, making decisions that benefit the whole system, not just parts of it.
So, here's the thing: Leadership isn't about being the busiest person in the room. It's about being the most strategic. Sharpen these skills, and watch how your leadership transforms.

Would like to listen to this whole podcast however the guest hardly can get a word in. Got about halfway through and that was it.
Program presenter is peaking more than the guest (Watkins)...really need to change this approach
I love chess. I’ve played for years and consider myself a strong player (2100 FIDE). I agree it develops one’s ability to think both strategically and tactically, but it’s critical to remember it’s a game of perfect information played in a predictable environment. Many insights gained are a result of its inherent stability. However, life is more lumpy, and we chess players don’t get as much practice with true variable change as we’d like to believe. What if part of the board were hidden under a fog of war? What if a new piece (with new movement abilities) suddenly appeared on the board? What if the board were expanded/contracted by a few squares? What if there were a few “pit squares” that captured pieces all on their own? How would this change your thinking?
Understanding the basic principles of any endeavor is undoubtedly valuable groundwork, but after that, I believe it’s developing the mental fortitude to respond calmly and rationally to true variability that is at the heart of strategic thinking.
Put simply:
1. Mitigate surprises
2. Never guess
that's pretty darn strong!
Watkins is simply great in trying to suggest Morgan to open a bit his "you can do it" approach. Logic, calm, counterintuitive, positive and disilluded at the same time.
Thank you for sharing.
Of course Tony Stark is a Strategic thinker 🙄
Sunday's scary means the company and / or boss is 'toxic'
Likely yes
Cringe. The guest was disgusted with how opinionated the interviewer was… i don’t know why the algorithm showed me this but it was the first and the last because the interviewer poses as an advocate of very tough management but then has a book called “lead with vulnerability”… lol what a bunch of BS!
Younger generations have, fortunately, many more options than your dad… And CEOs know this really well. Which leads to question if indeed you talked with any real CEOs, EVER?!
First of all he wasn't disgusted, I've had him on the show a few times and we always have a great chat. Second, the concept of tough management is not opposed to vulnerability. If you read the book you will see I advocate for competence + connection. Third, I've talked with and interviewed close to 2,000 CEOs.
"Does this generation with the income disparity of today have this opportunity?" "Totally. Look at my dad."
Very out of touch as to why people are quiet quitting en masse throughout the entirety of the modern world.
Say more...
You two were not in sync with your opinions. I turned in to learn how to be a more strategic thinker. I needed you to agree more with one another and stay focused on the topic of thinking strategies.
