Steve Jobs' Most Valuable Talent?

Robin Sharma
About this episode

I once watched a fascinating interview of Jony Ive, the former design leader at Apple who is also known as Steve Jobs' closest working partner.

As I observed the conversation, I discovered a leadership insight that I'd never heard before... 

While Steve was clearly intelligent, focused and relentless, his greatest talent just might have been his acute comfort in his own skin.

...And his “unmessable with” faith in the glory of his mission.

His vision and the product mattered more to him than being adored by others. And fitting in.

The key to working + living like this? Work on your interior life. Access your true power. Get to know your real visions, gifts, longings and needs. Become fully human [Jobs spent years working on himself before he became an icon in the world].

If you’d like to learn the tools, habits and daily routines of warriors, billionaires, sages and superstars then read (or listen to) The Everyday Hero Manifesto today. It’s a life-changing book. Get it here.
