		<description>While on the surface the methapor is novel I don&#039;t beleive it really has any depth.  

In puzzle making there is only one answer(the pieces only fit one way), there no competition(like in business) and you know what the result is suppose to be(the picture on the box really helps putting the puzzle together).  For a real challenge try to make a 2000 piece puzzle with no picture once(don&#039;t ask but trust me it will make the task a lot harder).

Leadership is just not that simple(although we sure would like it to be somedays).  I would contend that the challenges of leadership more closely resembles chess, organizations have individuals with different skills and abilities, there are some basic rules that must be followed but there are many ways to get the desired results, and in most cases there are competitors try to obtain the same goal as you.

I&#039;m a puzzle solver and also play chess for what its worth.</description>
