Finding The Next Steve Jobs By Nolan Bushnell
Nolan Bushnell founded the groundbreaking gaming company Atari, the restaurant chain Chuck E. Cheese’s, and two dozen other companies. Widely regarded as the father of video games, Bushnell is one of the most creative and prolific innovators of our time. He also launched the career of Steve Jobs along with many other brilliant creatives over the course of his five decades in business. In his eagerly awaited first book, Finding the Next Steve Jobs: How to Find, Keep and Nurture Talent, Bushnell uses his long-time friendship and mentor-employee relationship with Jobs as an example of how to identify and foster excellent work in brilliant employees. With 52 lessons—or Pongs—and written in Bushnell’s inimitable voice, Finding the Next Steve Jobs offers practical, unique, first-hand advice to hiring the kind of talent that could make any business a creative powerhouse like Apple, AirBnb, and Amazon, or like Atari, or Chuck E. Cheese’s in their day.
“An absolutely invaluable book by the founder of Atari and the man who launched Steve Jobs’s career.”
—Walter Isaacson, author of Steve Jobs
