Leadership Through Dominoes

Domino is an engaging tile game in which players position edge to edge pieces atop one another in such a way that each has an identical pattern on one side and blank or matching marks on the other, similar to how dots on a die are arranged in rows – only with blank squares instead. Once placed properly, dominoes create an explosion that causes others to collapse. Dominoes may be played using wooden or plastic pieces that come in rectangular, square, triangular or oval forms.

Dominoes can be used in various games, most frequently positional ones where pieces are laid edge to edge. Such positions typically involve blocking or scoring points with groupings of pieces grouped in lines or square grids arranged edge to edge; or arranged into single numbers; they could even be combined with other pieces, as part of solitaire play or to get around religious restrictions against playing cards.

Hevesh, an accomplished domino artist, has amassed over two million YouTube subscribers to her channel Hevesh5, where she showcases videos of her projects involving thousands of tiny pieces. These elaborate displays can take several minutes or more to complete; Hevesh accomplishes her work because she understands how to select tasks that will have an impactful result in other areas of your life; for example working on finances could save money in the long run as one domino piece can impact many areas at once.

Leadership misconceptions often include an incorrect perception that dominoes must be large and powerful to have any significant effect. In reality, however, even smaller dominoes can still have an enormous effect; dominoes work because even one small nudge can create an explosion of action that cascades throughout an organization. Lorne Whitehead at University of British Columbia demonstrated this true power with 13 dominoes he placed one which measured just 5 millimeters tall by 1 millimeter thick as evidence of dominoes’ true impactful nature through his 1983 study involving 13 dominoes which included one which was placed 5 millimeters tall by 1 millimeter thick in order to start its effects cascaded across.

According to research conducted in China, small dominoes could topple objects that were over three feet tall and 100 pounds! Leaders who focus on the right dominoes can have an enormously positive ripple effect; therefore it’s crucial that leaders identify which task will have the biggest positive reverberations effects and push on it with all their might.
