Masters of Scale’s Post

What does it take to rise from the Bronx to Nintendo's boardroom? Last year, I read "Disrupting the Game" by Reggie Fils-Aime. It shares his journey from the Bronx to becoming the President and COO of Nintendo of America. Reggie's story isn't a typical corporate success tale. It a story of resilience and innovative thinking. He explains how he tackled challenges, like launching the Wii and dealing with the tough times during the Wii U era. For anyone looking to turn obstacles into opportunities and lead with authenticity, this book is for you. #Leadership #Nintendo #BusinessStrategy

Remember when you were a kid and you played video games in which the hero had to go through a journey to locate prizes in order to win the game? In many ways, leadership is like that.

For you to succeed, you need to go on a journey to find the people with gold nugget ideas that will help you achieve your goals. #leadershipjourney #leadership

🏆 Striving for success demands not just strategy but also persistence. Here's a lesson from the competitive world of gaming that resonates just as powerfully in business: - Consistency is key: Just as athletes train diligently, consistent effort builds momentum in business. - Score incrementally: Every small win counts towards the larger game. Celebrate the process. - Play to the end: Championships are won in the final moments. Keep pushing until the very last drop. So, how many Booyahs or big wins can we expect from you and your team this quarter?

Even when things are quiet they are changing and you need to remain attuned to the changes. You really never "arrive" and you are always either landing or taking off, the two most critical phases of any flight. #strategicthinking

Most chief execs I know have interests outside of work - it's often an important way they keep going. Outside of work, what is it that gives you energy? Board games do this for me - they get me out of my head, distract me, and I enjoy the chat across the gaming table, as me and the other players try to foil each others' plans and obtain an advantage.
