The Steve Jobs Way: ILeadership For A New Generation (2011) - Plot & Excerpts
This book is quite similar to Steve Jobs' biography, much shorter though. The iLeadership part is pretty hidden though. There are many stories and the author points to anecdotes from Steve's management style, leadership and innovation. But the book includes a lot of PR of how Apple is awesome, how Steve is always right, and let's not forget the author - that is always right and points to many cases to give himself praises. Overall, worth reading. Somewhat bittersweet that I finished this book on the day Steve Jobs passed away. The book itself is an observer’s view of Steve and doesn’t really draw out his leadership traits in any way that you couldn’t already have figured out without reading the book. It corrects a few historic urban legends and maps out the Steve at Apple timeline in great detail, but aside from that there’s very little new information. Just a gushing (and fitting) reflection of working with a genius and the ultimate product guy.
What do You think about The Steve Jobs Way: ILeadership For A New Generation (2011)?
This book paints a bit too glorified picture of Steve Jobs than what feels right and honest to me.

I liked it... Some parts are however inconsistent with Isaacson's biography

Cliff notes to the Jobs story. Poorly done and meaningless.
