L. Michael Hall – Games Business Experts Play: Winning at the Games of Business

The unique perspective of this book is how it looks at business as a “game.” By doing so, it explores the business excellence from the standpoint of the name of the game, the rules of the game, the players, how to score, what makes a win, etc. Distinguishing healthy versus toxic games enables you to quality controlling the games you play, give you the power and focus to reject toxic games, and to refuse recruitment to unproductive games. It puts into your hands the skills for creating new empowering games.

Why view behaviors and conversations as “games?” Because that’s what we do, as inveterate game players, we play verbal, behavioral, and mental games in every facet of life. This is especially true for the context of business.

Yet these games spring from the frames we set. In business, we enter into games already underway which we then learn to play. Some of the frame games empower you to use your mental and emotional powers efficiently, other frame games undermine you, sabotage your effectiveness, and poison your state of mind. So first recognize the games, develop the power to refuse the toxic ones, and then step up to create the more enhancing ones.

Experts excel at their games and attain excellence because of the game they play, how they play, their frame of mind. Modeling their games enables us to replicate their expertise.
