In chess, the knight plays by its own rules. It leaps past obstacles, strikes from unexpected angles, and wins in ways others can’t. That’s why it is on the cover of this book: a reminder that real advantage doesn’t come from raw power but from unique skill combinations no one else sees coming.

They connect dots others overlook, solve problems before they escalate, and deliver results that matter. They don’t just do their job; they redefine it. That’s what it means to be the Most Valuable Player.
