Every week, our team at Refocus plays the ancient Chinese board game Go. It's not just for team-building or fun. Go is a powerful tool for pumping strategic thinking into business. The game, which is about 5,000 years old, helps entrepreneurs make important decisions about which country to open a new business in and how to behave in the market, which projects to close and which ones to invest in.
Each of our games is supervised by the Go teacher. He writes down the moves, and then analyzes them, asking the right questions. So, how does the game Go help achieve business goals and find problems in the team, and why is it similar to psychotherapy?
