Paperback. Nobody told you it was going to be this complicated.They told you about the opportunity, the team, the responsibility. They told you the good parts. What they did not tell you is what this book will: the honest, practical reality of what leadership demands once the title lands, the team is watching, and the pressure is real.Checkmate is the leadership book built around chess, not because leadership is a game in any trivial sense, but because chess is the most honest framework available for what leadership actually requires. Understanding every piece and what it can become. Knowing when to sacrifice, when to castle, when to step forward and when to hold back. And above all, being clear about what you are playing for.Drawing on thirty years of retail leadership in Canada, author Matthew G. Booker delivers a book grounded in real stories, real mistakes, and real moments of clarity earned the hard way.Checkmate covers: The six pieces every leader must understand, the pawn who can become anything, the knight who moves differently from everyone else, the bishop who only sees from one angle, the rook who holds everything up, the queen who carries more than they should, and the king, which is you. The moves that cost leaders most, playing without a strategy, protecting the wrong pieces, causing the stalemate, and never finding the castled position that makes sustainable leadership possible. The skills that separate good leaders from great ones, seeing the whole game, knowing when to sacrifice, controlling the centre, building trust as competitive advantage, and communicating with genuine intention. The endgame that makes it all worth it, leading through resets, redefining what winning looks like, and understanding what you are actually playing for. This is not a book of theory. It is a book of practice. Of patterns recognized from thirty years of leading, sponsoring, developing, and occasionally losing people who deserved better. Whether you are just stepping into your first leadership role, finding your footing in the middle of a career, or trying to leave something better behind than you found, Checkmate was written for the board you are playing on right now.The leaders who last are not the ones who work hardest. They are the ones who see furthest.Also available: Snakes and Ladders - A Guide to the Game Running Underneath Every Organization, Book One of The Leadership Game Series.

Nobody told you it was going to be this complicated.
They told you about the opportunity, the team, the responsibility. They told you the good parts. What they did not tell you is what this book will: the honest, practical reality of what leadership demands once the title lands, the team is watching, and the pressure is real.
Checkmate is the leadership book built around chess, not because leadership is a game in any trivial sense, but because chess is the most honest framework available for what leadership actually requires. Understanding every piece and what it can become. Knowing when to sacrifice, when to castle, when to step forward and when to hold back. And above all, being clear about what you are playing for.
Drawing on thirty years of retail leadership in Canada, author Matthew G. Booker delivers a book grounded in real stories, real mistakes, and real moments of clarity earned the hard way.
Checkmate covers:
The six pieces every leader must understand, the pawn who can become anything, the knight who moves differently from everyone else, the bishop who only sees from one angle, the rook who holds everything up, the queen who carries more than they should, and the king, which is you. The moves that cost leaders most, playing without a strategy, protecting the wrong pieces, causing the stalemate, and never finding the castled position that makes sustainable leadership possible. The skills that separate good leaders from great ones, seeing the whole game, knowing when to sacrifice, controlling the centre, building trust as competitive advantage, and communicating with genuine intention. The endgame that makes it all worth it, leading through resets, redefining what winning looks like, and understanding what you are actually playing for. This is not a book of theory. It is a book of practice. Of patterns recognized from thirty years of leading, sponsoring, developing, and occasionally losing people who deserved better. Whether you are just stepping into your first leadership role, finding your footing in the middle of a career, or trying to leave something better behind than you found, Checkmate was written for the board you are playing on right now.
The leaders who last are not the ones who work hardest. They are the ones who see furthest.

Información sobre el derecho de desistimiento
Derecho legal de desistimiento
Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 días sin dar ningún motivo.
El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.
Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electrónica y envíe una declaración clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a través de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electrónico).
Para cumplir con el plazo de desistimiento, basta con que envíe su comunicación relativa al ejercicio del derecho de desistimiento antes de que venza el periodo de desistimiento.
Efectos del desistimiento
Si rescinde este contrato, le reembolsaremos todos los pagos que hayamos recibido de usted, incluidos los gastos de envío (excepto los gastos adicionales que surjan si elige un tipo de envío que no sea el tipo de envío estándar más económico que ofrecemos).
Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.
Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a más tardar, 14 días después de que se nos informe de su decisión de rescindir este contrato.
Efectuaremos el reembolso utilizando el mismo medio de pago que utilizó para la transacción inicial, a menos que haya acordado expresamente lo contrario; en cualquier caso, no incurrirá en ningún cargo como resultado de dicho reembolso.
