Although the authorized biography of Steve Jobs has become one of the best-selling books in the world, the writer Walter Isaacson still reveals details from the interviews with the legendary CEO of the Cupertino company. In an interview today with Fortune Magazine, Isaacson says that Steve Jobs was one of those geniuses who knew how to combine art with technology. More than that, Apple's management team would have learned from Steve Jobs how to produce and promote future products, so that in the coming years we might see Steve Jobs' vision practiced by his employees.
It's good that we've made a big deal out of a creative business leader, rather than a celebrity. There's an emotional connection Steve Jobs made across the world – like a rock star or a prince. Some great business leaders do it by having a grand vision; some do it by micromanaging. Steve did both. He could get things done on a timeline that was amazing to most. Apple's current executive team has ingrained in their DNA connecting engineering with the beautiful. patience had a unique quality that is a component of genius: the ability to connect art and science.
Walter Isaacson had many interviews with Jobs and found out almost all the details about the life of the former CEO of Apple, but in his biography he published only the things that were not too personal for the former CEO. Isaacson claims that Jobs considered himself to be a special person, a rebel and that is probably why he refused to have an operation for cancer until it was too late. Unfortunately, Apple and the whole world have lost a genius, a man capable of changing the world we live in, a man who has already done this and would certainly have done much more.
