> I would say perhaps he was better at pivoting failures early Right. Good at deciding, throwing weight behind even a wild and dramatic choice (like his sort of pirate-captain-and-pirate-crew with the original Mac team) and committing. And then unusually brave at cutting losses or finding a new use for failures. He cut a hell of a lot of losses when he returned to Apple. But in interviews he was also sort of a student-philosopher of decision-making. Witness the clip on this page, with Jobs talking about being taught about not interfering with brand design (in this case the NeXT brand) by Paul Rand: https://www.logodesignlove.com/next-logo-paul-rand https://www.logodesignlove.com/next-logo-paul-rand You can see that made an impression on him and probably got absorbed into his sort of precision-anecdote-driven way of communicating his ideas. (The other thing I like about this clip is seeing Jobs talking quite personally about someone he admires)
