He focuses on the fact that companies should hire individuals who have the potential in them to become the next Steve Jobs. Summary of the Book Nolan Bushnell founded Atari in 1972 and hired Steve Jobs along with many other creatives two years later. He emphasizes on the importance of hiring the right talent, not in terms of the credentials but in terms of a creative bent of mind and an eagerness to learn. He further writes that it is not only important to hire these creative people but to isolate them and tap their potential in the best way possible. Bushnell further advices the readers to have a staff of creative people who are unique and think differently and whose ideas guarantee that your company will do well when the other companies fail.
