True confession. I’ve been at this marketing and management profession for a long time – straight out of college. I consider my foundation old school, some may say medieval, in principles and theories, and influenced by the new, now and next to stay competitive. It should come as no surprise that I welcome, with eyes wide open, paper and pen in tow, the latest season of Game of Thrones. Devotees of Dr. Wess Roberts’ Leadership Secrets of Attila the Hun will certainly understand my fascination with Game of Thrones. More than an epic fantasy series, the show is about survival, adaptation, and leadership. A while back in a previous LGK blog post, I shared a few of Roberts’ classic rules of decisiveness and thought you’d thoroughly enjoy the quiz below as a bit of Game of Thrones inspiration for marketing and management.
The takeaway for many who watch is that life and business, like the show, are about survival of the fittest. How you adapt and lead may very well seal your fate.
Are you a Game of Thrones fan? What character do you most resemble in your approach to marketing and management? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section of this post.
