The Way of Go: 8 Ancient Strategy Secrets for Success in Business and Life

"For centuries, business, political, and military leaders throughout Asia have had a secret weapon for success -- the philosophies and strategies found in an ancient game called Go. Now, Troy Anderson, an entrepreneur, knowledge management expert, Fortune 500 management consultant, and one of only five Americans to train at the Japanese Professional Go Academy, brings these philosophies and strategies to the West. Leaders and intellects such as Mao Tse-tung, Bill Gates, and John Nash (the game was featured in the movie A Beautiful Mind) as well as many CEOs and political leaders throughout Asia are among the 27 million people who have played this simple two-person board game known as the ""game of geniuses."" In this unique book, Troy Anderson shares the essential elements of strategy and competition that define the game of Go and shows how these principles can be applied wherever strategy is called for: How to make use of limited resources and time to produce the largest gain Which initiatives to continue and which to abandon When to lead and when to follow your opponent How to weigh competing interests among different units How to enter a market where the competition is already well established How to proceed to ensure success if the competition enters your market How to create a strategic plan when the market changes quickly How to go global but think locally Go provides experience and understanding regarding basic strategic problems that no other art, science, or field, other than war, can readily claim. In addition to an enriching account of how the game of Go has influenced Anderson's life, the valuable lessons imparted here add up to a powerful prescription for success -- whether you are seeking professional achievement, better competitive understanding, stronger personal relationships, or simply a more rewarding life.

Chapter One

Global Local

It is easy to get lost in local battles and not focus on the global position. The winner in Go is not the player who wins the most spectacular battle somewhere, but the player who wins the war. Having a global focus in Go gives you an edge on locally minded competitors, because there can be almost a dozen different battles going on at any one time, and you get only one move at a time. The more you put each battle into a global context, the more likely you will play the right move aligned with the overall objective - winning the game. It's the same sort of thing you learn as a child. Would I rather have the piece of candy in front of me or get a whole pitcher of candy later? When you are a child, you always ... read full excerpt from The Way of Go: 8 Ancient Strategy Secrets for Success in Business and Life ebook
