This week's Coaching Cocktail: « The Steve Jobs Martini!» : 5 measures of Innovation: : ( “Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.”-“So when a good idea comes, you know, part of my job is to move it around, just see what different people think, get people talking about it, argue with people about it, get ideas moving among that group of 100 people, get different people together to explore different aspects of it quietly, and, you know – just explore things.” – Steve Jobs)
3 measures of Vision: : ( “My job is not to be easy on people. My jobs is to take these great people we have and to push them and make them even better.” “I mean, some people say, ‘Oh, God, if [Jobs] got run over by a bus, Apple would be in trouble.’ And, you know, I think it wouldn’t be a party, but there are really capable people at Apple. My job is to make the whole executive team good enough to be successors, so that’s what I try to do.” - Steve Jobs)
2 measures of Intuition: : ( “Almost everything–all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure–these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.”- Steve Jobs)
1 measure of Audacity: (“Here’s to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes… the ones who see things differently — they’re not fond of rules… You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can’t do is ignore them because they change things… they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.” – Think Different, Steve Jobs)
Garnish with Passion and Design:« Design is the fundamental soul of a human-made creation that ends up expressing itself in successive outer layers of the product or service.»- Steve Jobs SHAKE DO NOT STIR!
