The Book
Mahjong rewards preparation, observation, adaptability, sound judgment, emotional discipline, and connection. So does leadership.
Ancient Game. Modern Leadership. turns those parallels into ten practical lessons leaders can put to work immediately—whether leading a team of five or an organization of five thousand.
The Leader Behind the Lessons
For more than three decades, Maureen has helped leaders navigate growth, change, and the everyday realities of leading people. A former Chief People Officer, executive coach, consultant, and trusted advisor to CEOs and senior executives, she has spent her career helping leaders focus on what matters most.
Then she learned to play Mahjong—and discovered that some of leadership's most enduring lessons were sitting right there on the table.
One of the best strategic minds I have ever worked with in my 34 year career.
