Ask Iwata: Words of Wisdom from Satoru Iwata, Nintendo's Legendary CEO by Satoru IwataMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Some great nuggets here, but otherwise maybe you need to be more familiar with Iwata. Still, a quick, easy read.
Some of my notes:
"The trouble is that people feel better when they have their hands full, so until they find the bottlenecks, they tend to sweat over whatever issues they encounter. Before taking any action, you should identify the most problematic areas and figure out what you, and only you, can do to fix them." (p. 29)
"If you rely on what we might call a short-sighted cleverness, making decisions solely by comparing options and deciding "This one's better", you're bound to wind up on the road more often traveled. A major reason why this hasn't happened at Nintendo is that we've maintained clear objectives" (p. 32)
"Anything a computer can do for you should be left to a computer" (p. 138)
