I really look up to both Steves. I met Woz once and he's such a humble guy in everything he talks about. I even studied Jobs because I really value his perspective of the world although many people believe he was an asshole (he probably was).
The beauty of Jobs in my eyes is his ability to take what was in front of him and refine it until his liking.
How do you do that? You become a world class communicator even if you can't describe what you want and you have to "see it to believe it". The reality is that you know what everyone wants because you are playing the role of "absurdity" against the "voice of reason".
I think to work on your communication skills, one of the best ways to do so is through comedy improv classes, ToastMasters, twitch streaming, making youtube videos, work presentations, and even theater. You have to be willing to put yourself in front of other people and fail time after time to then get good enough to be comfortable and confident whenever you do it.

The article quotes Woz: > [Jobs] wasn’t really capable, engineering wise, you know, computer hardware, software That's (almost) like Hawking saying you aren't a great physicist. I wonder how much Jobs was motivated by Woz's excellence in engineering.
