Miller presents professionals working in a variety of contexts and general-interest readers with a guide to the implementation of developed leadership strategies applicable in a wide variety of organizational contexts. The author has organized the main body of his text in several chapters devoted to the transition from the organizational leadership style necessary in the early days of an organization and the organizational leadership style necessary to successfully and strategically manage an organization once its off the ground. He argues that the former is much like the game of checkers, that the latter is far more like chess, and that leaders who continue to play checkers once a chess game is necessary are likely to fail.
