I think you've hit on one of the key leadership traits of Jobs right there - the ability to say, "don't do this, don't do that." Especially when there are entire industries that may be urging him to do something against his vision.
- wisty 15y agoThat's trainable. What's not trainable is knowing what to say "no" and "yes" to. Steve developed this instinct over a long time. He made a lot more blunders when he was younger, and learned from them.
- mikeleeorg 15y agoTotally agree. And that comes not just from experience, making lots of mistakes and the ability to learn from those mistakes - but also from an ability to be idealistically realistic and see patterns throughout and across industries.
- dunham 15y agoAnother key trait of a good leader, IMHO, is the ability to train others to do the same. Time will tell if Steve Jobs pulled this off. (You see this in the restaurant industry - the truely great chefs spawn other great chefs.)
