Egerton Releases Business On The Board (Updated)

 

Longtime Illinois chess coach Jim Egerton has released his Business on the Board book through Amazon.com. The ebook is available for free download for a limited time and a discounted rate for the print edition is offered.

The book looks at the intersection of business and chess principles.

By the end of the first day of publication, Sept. 19, Egerton reports the book was Amazon's top sellingn Professional Development and Education title and number two in the Business and Money category.

Egerton suggests a featuring of the book in the October edition of Chess Life "should be a big lift".

The author indicates, "Once the book gets loaded into Createspace, Amazon with their Look Inside option will allow the reader to see 10% of the book ...  So there will be plenty to inspect when someone wants to look at the contents."

Egerton has also posted a number of videos which highlight several key ideas: http://www.businessontheboard.com/videos/

With chapters such as: 

• Targeting Your Team for Mobility (Power of Centralization)
• Allocating Resources with a Plan (Employee Development)
• Risk Management & Asset Protection (Castling Short & By Hand)

... Business On the Board should help business-minded chess players understand workworld concepts a little bit better... and may encourage others to look at the synergies of chess when it comes to organizations and strategic thinking.
