One reason biographies of famous leaders are so popular among those who want to excel is that they rarely get the chance to see other leaders make decisions. As a result, their learning about decision-making is somewhat stunted.
Like generational revisions of a product that has seen improvement of its predecessor the wise shall inherit that wisdom.
Your read today is of the upmost importance and probably more important than anybody realizes.
Today’s future was built on that past and it’s not just a matter of who won or who lost or what was improved and what wasn’t, it's the journey and how we embrace it.
That journey, that we take through life, well, it’s already on the road that pathed your way.
I am not a fan of the late Steve Jobs. Anything I have read about/on him, was less than impressive. That said when it came to the industry; the late Andrew Grove, PhD, said he was right most of the time. Secondly, there is wisdom in not having to expend too much energy when deciding what to wear (although he is not original regarding that).
I am certainly interested in reading iWoz. That man, and the team that actually made stuff are the real creators of Apple products (in my opinion).
Until I get through other materials, it'll sit in my cart.
"The Gift" by Dr. Edith Eger is a wonderful read. It is life-changing on a personal level, which I believe is the foundation for professional growth as well.
When I started reading this post, I thought it would be yet another emulate-this-famous-person-based-on-a-dubious-hagiography argument. Instead, it is level headed advice on how to approach and learn practical lessons from past leaders. Just what people need to read about!

Reading is the ultimate cheat code. One I love and recommend is 'Leadership in Turbulent Times' by Doris Kearns Goodwin.
