This represents who you are and the company you built. If you or the company fails, its game over

Ultimately you are responsible for every consequence that you face. You have to see both the short-term and long-term goals and husband your resources efficiently.

To manage a large force is similar to managing a small force. It is simply a question of diving them up into allotments and assigning capable supervisors.

It is a mental game 

Queen

Rook

Rook

This represents the staff responsible for closing deals and convincing prospects to transfer cash over to you for your product/service. 

They are the life blood of your business. If you have to invest in any sector within your business, invest in this. Make sure they are appropriate as they will act as the face of your bsuiness

Good sales staff have to be compensated well through commission. This keeps them craving for more rewards and satiated enough to stick with you. Those who do not perform well have to be booted out to make space for those who do perform. 

Bishop

They are supervisors who can manage people and understand the short term objectives they need to meet. They push the morale of others by their own work ethic.

They are hungry and are ready to take on any responsibility you throw at them. 

Good experience trumps academic theory so select those who have shown themselves worthy. 

Knight

They keep everyone together. Without them there is no life within the business.

They might not be as adept as supervisors but they are key. You just got to find creative ways to utilize their talents. Place them in the middle of the office space.

They can empathise well with people and so you can get a fresh perspective

Pawn

They keep everyone together. Without them there is no life within the business.

Remember that if the pawn reaches the end of the board – puts in enough work – they can be promoted to a higher position so always be on the lookout. 

They can empathise well with people so you can get a fresh perspective
