My Review of the BIO: Steve Jobs as Seen by Isaacson: And a Couple of Problems with the Bestselling Steve Jobs Bio
+++
Excerpt from an interview with Walter Isaacson, the Jobs Authorized biographer.
Do you want to share one last thing about Mr. Jobs?
The main thing is this: his petulance was not just some isolated thing. It was part of his passion for perfection. I think he truly knew that by being demanding, he was being inspiring. He created incredibly loyal teams. He convinced people that they could do the impossible. They would walk through walls for him. As a result, Apple continually made great products. Everything he did was a resolution between the misfit and the businessman, the romantic and the rational. These ended up tying together in every case. The two sides, and the fact that he is able to join them, made an amazing product: Steve Jobs. — NYTimes One on One with Walter Isaacson.
