Why This Author Is on the Shelf

We include Christopher Lochhead because the associated Reading Room title gives owners a useful way to think about real operating decisions. The value is not biography; it is what the work helps a business do more clearly this quarter.

Short Biography

Christopher Lochhead is a category-design strategist, author, and speaker. As a co-author of Play Bigger, he focuses on how companies create and own new categories rather than merely competing inside old ones.

What Inspired the Work

His work seems driven by the idea that the strongest companies teach the market how to think about a problem before they ask the market to buy a solution.

Play Bigger

With Al Ramadan, Dave Peterson, Christopher Lochhead, Kevin Maney

The case that creating a category beats winning one. Most useful for the owner who keeps describing their business as "better" instead of "different."

How to Use These Ideas in a Business

Read the related title with one current problem in mind: cash flow, delegation, hiring, pipeline, customer process, client communication, risk transfer, leadership conflict, or positioning. Then turn one idea into a written operating rule with an owner, metric, and review date.

Bring the Idea Back to the Business

If one of these books raises a question about risk, continuity, growth, or coverage, use it as a starting point for a practical coverage review.
