According to Steve, you shouldn't be emulating anyone - be yourself. You'll never be a better Steve Jobs than Steve was - or a better Woz than Woz was.

The key thing I got out of the article is how important your co-founder is - one thing Steve seems to have is that he recognized talent very quickly (Woz, Ive at the age of 29) and developed them.

Or he just got lucky and was Wozniak's best friend from High School. Which is the true story.

Ive is much more responsible for Apple's current renaissance than Wozniak.

They were both lucky to have each other.

Come again? Steve developed Woz?

Come to think of it, I think there was something in their relationship that we might now call "development." There is the anecdote about how Steve "tricked" Woz into cutting down the number of chips to win a prize at Atari. Woz did the work, but it was probably Steve pushing him that made him consider it possible in the first place.

Although Steve had ulterior motives, this doesn't seem too different than what we would say now of managers who were good at developing their employees.
