lessons learned from Steve Jobs

[Randall_Oelerich]

I came across this blog today on the top 12 lessons someone learned from working with visionary Steve Jobs. As I looked over the twelve, it occurred to me that some of the lessons learned might have applications to the business of screenwriting, storytelling.

I like this. Especially the "Bozo Explosion" calculus. Reminds me of any number of 'teams' I've had the misfortune to be associated with, however briefly...

As an aside, I always found it slightly amusing that Guy Kawasaki's official title at Apple was "Evangelist". You'd sort of picture him in front of some vast, wide-eyed congregation preaching the virtuousness of The Church Of Apple.

...which might not have been too far from the truth... : )

As someone with the goal of being a working movie-maker, I study success literature like this all the time (Tony Robbins, Jack Canfield, etc), and you should too! Thanks for sharing!

Steal other people's innovation and make it simpler and shinier, and then market the hell out of it.

Agreed.
