La découverte des travaux de Frans de Waal et d’autres sur l’éthologie des grands singes m’ont amenée à me poser la question des parallèles possibles entre éthologie et leadership. Petit tour d’horizon, en perpétuel apprentissage.
Fabrice Rosenstiehl est dirigeant, ancien champion d’Europe de Go et joueur d’Échecs. Autant dire un animal rare. Bien qu’il reconnaisse volontiers être biaisé en faveur du Go, il utilise sa compréhension de ces deux jeux de stratégie pour déchiffrer et prendre part aux jeux de pouvoir auxquels il est confronté dans sa vie professionnelle.
Last week, Fabrice Rosenstiehl took us through an overall comparison between a Go player’s and a Chess player’s mindset. This week, we explore four major differences between both games, that lead to radically different decision-making and leadership styles.
Fabrice Rosenstiehl is one of a kind: whilst pursuing his career as a business leader, he’s a Go player at top European level, and a former Chess player. Although he readily reckons that he is biased towards Go, he uses his understanding of both games to decipher and play the power games he is faced with in business contexts.
