Executive Summary of Walter Isaacson's "Steve Jobs"



Executive summary of Isaacson's "Steve Jobs":

- Remove everything that is unnecessary.

- Be ruthless about building an A team.

- Make stuff you believe in.

- Collaborate often through vigorous discussion.

- Push yourself and others to do the impossible now.

- Make great experiences by simplifying.

- Own your work and protect it.

- Live at intersection of intellect and intuition.

But read the book. In the same way that you understand a proverb much more after you've had a life a experience that demonstrates it, these will mean much, much more when you see them in the context of Steve Jobs' life.

Plus, you'll also discover Jobs' equally as compelling character traits: from his idealism to his irascibility.
