Overview
In finite games, the players are known, the rules are fixed and the end point is clear. The winners and losers are easily identified, like in a game of football or chess. In infinite games, like business, politics or life itself, the players come and go, the rules are changeable and there is no defined end point. There is no such thing as winning business' or winning life, for example, there is only ahead and behind. The more I started to understand the difference between finite and infinite games, the more I began to see infinite games all around us. I started to see that many of the struggles that organizations face exist simply because their leaders were playing with a finite mindset in an infinite game. These organizations tend to lag behind in innovation, discretionary effort, morale and ultimately performance. The leaders who embrace an infinite mindset, in stark contrast, build stronger, more innovative, more inspiring organizations. Their people trust one another and their leaders. They have the resilience to thrive in an ever-changing world, while their competitors fall by the wayside. Ultimately, they are the ones who lead the rest of us into the future.
