Hugely excited for this listen!
I get asked a lot what it was like to work with Steve Jobs. Probably the biggest thing I learned is that there is no "good enough" when it comes to the basics: communicating, motivating, and most importantly, thinking. Steve was obsessed with the quality of his own thinking. He was able to generate a mental map of a problem space faster and more deftly than anyone I've known because he worked at it. Over the course of a career, that skill compounds more than anything else.

Spent a month studying how Elon operates. Hard but I figured it out. Now I'm studying Steve Jobs but it's like a "hazy gas" I can only grasp superficially. His method is more intuitive & less systematic. I can't yet see the underlying mechanics that would allow me to replicate it

“He was able to generate a mental map of a problem space faster and more deftly than anyone I've known”
This is a crucial leadership skill and one that will become even more important with the advent of AI.
Doing things will be increasingly easy, figuring out what to do and why is the challenge
