Mission Rules
Checkers & Business Strategy
- Sacrifice & ROI: Just as you might sacrifice a checker to jump two opponent pieces, business often requires short-term investments (losses) for long-term market share (wins).
- The "King" Effect (Talent Development): A piece at the back of the board is limited. Push it through the "pipeline" to the other side, and it becomes a King—versatile and powerful. In business, junior employees need mentorship and career progression to unlock their full value.
- Forced Compliance: In checkers, if you can jump, you must. In the "Compliance Trap" scenario, this mimics regulatory or market pressures. A smart competitor will force you into a move that looks profitable (a capture) but leads to a trap. Don't just react to market demands; anticipate where they lead.
- Asymmetric Competition: The "Bootstrap" scenario teaches that a small startup (fewer pieces) cannot fight a war of attrition against a corporation (more pieces). You must rely on agility, niche dominance (corners), and survival until you can scale (King).
