The wise win before they fight, while the ignorant fight to win. So
wrote Zhuge Liang, the great Chinese military strategist. He was
referring to battlefield tactics, but the same can be said about
any strategic situation. Even seemingly certain defeat can be
turned into victory whether in battle, business, or life by those
with the strategic vision to recognize how to change the game to
their own advantage.
The aim of David McAdams s Game-Changer is nothing less than to
empower you with this wisdom not just to win in every strategic
situation (or game ) you face but to change those games and the
ecosystems in which they reside to transform your life and our
lives together for the better.
Game-Changer develops six basic ways to change games commitment,
regulation, cartelization, retaliation, trust, and relationships
enlivened by countless colorful characters and unforgettable
examples from the worlds of business, medicine, finance, military
history, crime, sports, and more.
The book then digs into several real-world strategic challenges,
such as how to keep prices low on the Internet, how to restore the
public s lost trust in for-charity telemarketers, and even how to
save mankind from looming and seemingly unstoppable drug-resistant
disease. In each case, McAdams uses the game-theory approach
developed in the book to identify the strategic crux of the problem
and then leverages that game-awareness to brainstorm ways to change
the game to solve or at least mitigate the underlying problem.
So get ready for a fascinating journey. You ll emerge a deeper
strategic thinker, poised to change and win all the games you play.
In doing so, you can also make the world a better place. Just one
Game-Changer is] enough to seed and transform an entire
organization into a more productive, happier, and altogether better
place, McAdams writes. Just imagine what we can do together."
