Focus on what matters
- Write down the end goal.
- Divide the goal into specific actions you need to take to get there. Think in terms of systems: focussed, routine actions that you can do daily.
- List all your tasks and rank them according to effort and impact. This makes prioritizing tasks easier.
- Do the highest priority task using focused, distraction-free blocks of time.
- Keep repeating this until you achieve your goal

Steve Jobs and Management by Meaning
Steve Jobs did not fit the norm
Steve Jobs has always been considered an anomaly in management: his leadership style was something to admire or to criticize, but definitely not to replicate.

Apple’s approach to innovation
It puts people at the center. But it is definitely not user-driven: it does not listen to users, but makes proposals to them. Customers do not buy Apple's products because of utility or functionality.

Get this equation backwards and you will wonder why&...
The formula for being an inspirational driver
- Know your "noble cause." Jobs understood that if teams don’t find their work meaningful, they perceive challenging directives from a leader as arbitrary demands rather than a call to sacrifice for a higher purpose.
- Tell your story early and often. If you can’t weave your ideas into a clear, compelling story, those ideas remain abstract words likely to be forgotten.
- Push, but within boundaries. Make sure you have a clear end point and time line in mind before you go into "push" mode. Intense work with no clear end in sight is demoralizing.
