Have you heard of Magnus Carlsen? He’s a world champion and indisputably the best in his sport, but few people know who he is.
Magnus plays chess and is considered the greatest champion who ever lived–and he’s just 31 years old.
One of the reasons Magnus is such a dominant competitor is that he can think outside chess principles and conventional ideas. The game of chess has more possible moves than there are atoms in the universe, and he can find solutions others can’t see. Even when it looks like he’s down, Magnus almost always finds a way to save the game. His view of the big picture and the many possibilities is unmatched.
The future of work is a lot like the game of chess. There are countless possibilities and outcomes. The people who challenge convention, go against the grain, and come up with new ideas will succeed and lead change.
Everything we know about work is changing before our eyes. But many leaders refuse to acknowledge the change or see what is happening. To prepare and thrive, we have to be aware of our surroundings and find solutions other people can’t see.
We have to think like chess players. That means going beyond the conventional ideas we’re used to and thinking outside the box to see the big picture. We have to challenge our outdated notions of what it means to be an employee, what it means to be a leader, and what it means to work.
The game has changed, and we have to change along with it.
