Finding the Next Steve Jobs

Nolan Bushnell

For a business to succeed, creativity is essential. Therefore, it is crucial to find creative individuals, no matter how strange they seem. Give them the freedom to voice their opinions and put their ideas to the test in an atmosphere that makes them comfortable. Provide them with an appealing work environment. It is possible for both you and gifted individuals to benefit from supporting them in the right way. Failures should be celebrated. Taking risks is the only way for a business to thrive, so never discourage employees from taking them. Rather, consider taking more risks and viewing failures as learning opportunities if they don't go as planned. People will feel more confident trying new ideas if you reward them for their failures. It is also easier to deal with mistakes if you laugh at them.
