Steve Jobs Standing Firm at the Epicenter..

One of my fav mags is WIRED b/c they cover a lot of emerging ideas in the tech industry and I'm always wondering what these innovations might mean for movement & meaning making.

Fascinating article this month about Steve Jobs & Apple called, "Evil Genius" that discusses how counter-intuitive Jobs & Apple have been in the face of Silcon Valley group think. Pretty fascinating stuff.

Even WIRED admits it blew it when it offered Apple some advice on how to survive back in the late 90's.

The leadership take-away is the Leadership of anything cutting edge requires courage, intuition and authenticity-- a willingness to stick to the gyro of the internal mantra in the face of the 'experts' at times.

My good friend Mark Scureman says that leadership is tough and complex....I think he's right!

Have some guts! Lead STRONG.
