    Steve Jobs - Michael Essany

    Introduction

    On October 5th, 2011, the world lost one of its greatest innovators, inventors, and inspired artists - Apple co-founder and tech visionary Steve Jobs.

    But as the world mourned the loss, it also collectively opened its eyes to the extraordinary life and lessons imparted from his 56 years.

    Within three weeks of his passing, the official Steve Jobs biography by Walter Isaacson was published. But since then, as more details of Steve Jobs' personal and professional lives emerged, it became evident that future and potentially more in-depth works about Jobs will follow.

    Although many have attempted to decode and decipher the lessons for success taught by Steve Jobs' life, it is obvious from the man's own words that no such lessons for success really exist. What does exist, however, is a collection of lessons in leadership that Jobs' life provided. And auspiciously for those who seek to learn from his magic, it’s only through leadership – on a personal and professional level – that success can be obtained.

    In the months that followed his passing, unprecedented insight emerged with regard to the experiences, mistakes, and successes that defined Steve Jobs life. The following pages present the philosophies and values as preached and practiced by Jobs throughout his career, though only some have been well-known until now.

    These are the ten supreme lessons in leadership as exemplified by the incomparable life and legacy of Steve Jobs.

    Lesson 1: Wait For Nothing

    There's only one thing in life that you should enjoy waiting for. And that's for the rest of the world to catch up to your thinking.

    When Steve Jobs was a young man, his passion for technology and building things had begun to emerge. At one point in his youth, he wanted to build something but lacked a particular component of the required equipment.

    While just twelve years of age, Steve Jobs ventured to build a frequency counter. How did he do it? He certainly didn't wait until he was older and had access to the mature tools and resources of a man attempting a similar feat. Instead, the boy looked up the phone number to Bill Hewlett, the founder of HP.

    Steve Jobs called him to inquire about getting parts.

    That takes loads of gumption and heaps of impatience - two essential elements in Steve Jobs' success story. He was as a man that which he was as a boy - a restless spirit, eager to achieve, and unwilling to wait.

    Those who wait or simply go with the flow, Jobs warned, could never be ahead of their time. And the most common trait among leaders across any field in any industry is foresight.

    "The story of
