This is so refreshing, Ted. I few like I’m getting personal McKinsey style insight from someone whose values actually align with mine. There’s so much to learn but such a resonant context. Thank you.

I agree completely with your analysis of Apple post-Jobs in both instances. And yet, if he hadn't been friends with Woz, who gave him a product to sell and to build a new company around, he'd never have climbed ANY corporate ladder. Nolan Bushnell tells the story of how Jobs had such bad b.o. and breath that nobody else at Atari would work with him, or even sit by him - but Bushnell still felt the kid had something. So he pulled Jobs aside and told him he was promoting him to night supervisor - except that the entire night crew at Atari consisted of Jobs and Woz. ;-)
