Chess

The other day I had the opportunity to play chess with a couple of school children, aged 10 and 7.  I was so impressed with their understanding of the game.  It was even possible to lose to them.  Never mind that last year when we played, I did.

To win, the ability to think strategically is, of course, a key skill in chess. 

It’s crucial to have deep ability to think ahead, assess consequences, and be sensitive to what another person is thinking and planning to do. 

Sounds like key skills any manager or leader should be very good at.
