      Book Presentation: Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson

      Book Abstract

      STEVE JOBS (1955 - 2011) was one of the modern era’s most creative and passionate entrepreneurs. His passion for perfection and his ferocious drive completely revolutionized at least six industries: personal computers, animated movies, music, mobile phones, tablet computing and digital publishing. When it comes to inventiveness and applied imagination, Steve Jobs is the ultimate icon and benchmark.

      More than anyone else, Jobs demonstrated the best way to create value in the twenty-first-century is to develop products which are in the sweet spot at the intersection of art and technology. Jobs built one company (Apple) and owned another (Pixar) where leaps of imagination were combined with stunning feats of engineering and an uncompromising emphasis on design excellence to make state-of-the-art products which sold.

      Steve Jobs never claimed to be easy to work with and he always managed to drive those who worked with him closely to fury and despair but often that pressure generated levels of performance they didn’t think they were capable of. His personality and his products were tightly interrelated in just the same way as Apple’s hardware and software are a closed system by design. Jobs always developed his products in deliberate ways which would deliver the customer experience he felt they deserved. And most of the time, he had an uncanny knack for anticipating what customers wanted and delivering them products that were in his own words insanely great.

      Jobs always aspired to make a dent in the universe. Many people would argue he did precisely that in his career which was tragically cut short by cancer. The story of that career is however an instructive tale which is filled with lessons about innovation, character, leadership and being true to one’s own values.

      Summary of Steve Jobs (Walter Isaacson)

      Steve Jobs

      Steven Paul Jobs was born on February 24, 1955 in San Francisco. His birth mother, Joanne Schieble and his birth father Abdulfattah John Jandali were not married so Jobs was put up for adoption. Paul and Clara Jobs adopted him and raised him as their own although they were always open about the fact he was adopted. Joanne Schieble refused to sign the adoption papers until Paul and Clara signed a pledge they would fund a savings account to pay for Steve’s college education.

      Steve grew up in Mountain View, a less expensive town just to the south of Palo Alto, the
