LESSONS FROM A BOSS-LEVEL DISRUPTOR AND GAMING LEGEND
Reggie Fils-Aimé, retired President and Chief Operating Officer of Nintendo of America Inc., shares leadership lessons and inspiring stories from his unlikely rise to the top.
Although he’s best known as Nintendo's iconic President of the Americas—immortalized for opening Nintendo’s 2004 E3 presentation with, “My name is Reggie, I'm about kicking ass, I'm about taking names, and we're about making games”—Reggie Fils-Aimé’s story is the ultimate game plan for anyone looking to beat the odds and achieve success.
Learn from Reggie how to leverage disruptive thinking to pinpoint the life choices that will make you truly happy, conquer negative perceptions from those who underestimate or outright dismiss you, and master the grit, perseverance, and resilience it takes to dominate in the business world and to reach your professional dreams.
As close to sitting one-on-one with the gaming legend as it gets, you will learn:
About the challenges Reggie faced throughout his life and career—from his humble childhood as the son of Haitian immigrants, to becoming one of the most powerful names in the history of the gaming industry.What it takes to reach the top of your own industry, including being brave enough to stand up for your ideas, while also being open to alternative paths to success.How to create vibrant and believable visions for your career, your team, and your company.How to maintain relentless curiosity and know when to ask questions to shatter the status quo.
Customer Reviews
An amazing story
A talented speaker, presenter, marketer, innovator, and now writer of an incredible book. From humble beginnings as a young boy in the bronx Reggie tells his story climbing the corporate ladder. If you are a business major you will love this book. As a Nintendo fan I loved it even more. I hope there’s another book that is a little less memoir and more detailed in the experience at Nintendo.
Wonderful Journey Through the Corporate World
The book details Reggie’s journey through the corporate world, and sometimes life at home, in a practical, down-to-earth, approachable way. It all culminates into Reggie joining Nintendo, which for any gamer is an absolute treat. But even if you don’t care for gaming (statistically unlikely these days), this book is absolutely great for anyone looking for nuggets of wisdom about leadership and life choices. WONDERFUL! Well done Mr. Fils-Aime, and thank you for your hard work at Nintendo.
What an amazing book!
I loved every chapter! I never imagined I would get to hear the beginnings of such an amazing business man! It’s s humbling piece to hear and it really gives people hope that anyone can get anywhere in life as long as they work hard for it! That first chapter had me in tears, though! Amazing read and listening to Reggie read it was just perfect!
