From the Publisher
“To succeed as a manager or a leader, you need to be strategically disruptive. Forge new ideas and approaches that vary from the norm. Don’t be afraid to shake things up. Then have courage in your convictions. This is what can drive companies forward and advance a career. This is what puts you on the path to success.
Using the story of my rise from a Bronx tenement, to Cornell, to companies like Procter & Gamble, and eventually to President of Nintendo of America, I’ll demonstrate how speaking your mind, acting on your core beliefs, and working against the grain helped me rise faster and higher than I thought possible.
I hope you will be inspired by my story and take advantage of the lessons it teaches about leadership success.”
“This is the inside story of how the son of Haitian immigrants beat the odds, rose to the top of the gaming industry, and breathed new life into Nintendo. Reggie Fils-Aimé offers inspiration and insight for aspiring leaders, innovators, and anyone who’s ever been doubted.”
—ADAM GRANT, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Again and host of the TED podcast WorkLife
“Disrupting the Game is a powerful memoir that teaches you about leadership. The reader is taken on a journey about personal, team, and organizational disruption and is provided with a perspective for why it is important, how it can be done, and the so what. Through vicarious and experiential learning, you will be inspired to challenge the status quo and embrace continuous innovation as an essential leadership practice.”
—LYNN PERRY WOOTEN, President, Simmons University
“Powerful, universal insight into leadership and life from one of the video game industry’s most important champions. Reggie’s book delivers real lessons to anyone looking to grow a business, or a career.”
—GEOFF KEIGHLEY, Creator and CEO, The Game Awards
“This is a beautifully told story of how a fearless young marketing executive with no gaming experience stepped into a stagnant industry and helped to build Nintendo and the entire video game industry into a cultural juggernaut.”
