Steve Jobs' Leadership Lesson 9 - Push for perfection


Toy Story, the iPhone and the iPad are given by Isaacson* as products where Steve Jobs' showed his "push for perfection".  If one considers Steve Jobs as a product designer this conclusion seems fair.  But a leader wouldn't necessarily aim for perfection in a product, activity or outcome, in my view.

A leader would want his/her followers to have pride in their work.  That pride would motivate them to achieve great deeds (and deliver great products).


Next: Lesson 10 - Tolerate Only "A" Players
