A mentor once asked me, "Tom, are you playing chess or checkers with your team?". Clearly he was challenging me to think about my strategy to grow my team and the business. I wasn't really sure of his metaphor so I started researching and thinking about his question. What are the actual the differences between the two board games?

Growth happens on the inside before it will show on the outside. Basically, just because you do not see it, doesn’t mean it is not working. Becoming a stronger, more effective leader takes time.

Equity gaps are not only unjust; they are also expensive. The term “equity gap” refers to systematic differences in outcomes that vary across student groups. Nationally, Black, Hispanic and Native American students graduate at lower rates than their white and Asian counterparts at four-year and two-year colleges alike. These gaps don’t exist because certain types of students are lazier than others.
