Leadership & Chess by Dana

What can chess teach us about leadership, decision-making, and long-term thinking?

In this talk, Dana Reizniece-Ozola explores how principles from the game translate into real-world leadership – from handling complexity and uncertainty to making critical decisions under pressure.

Drawing on her unique career at the intersection of elite chess and high-level politics, she shares insights from both the boardroom and the chessboard.

This session is for anyone interested in strategy, leadership, and how chess thinking can be applied far beyond the game itself.
