$135 Million? No Thanks

$135 Million? No thanks …

by LANGDON on DECEMBER 10, 2011


At the risk of restating the obvious, it would seem that the most notable thing that happened in the world of innovation in 2011, at least as far as the business world is concerned, was the sad death of Steve Jobs.

His biography sits at number one on the best seller lists, and when was the last time a book about innovation held that spot?  I don’t think it’s ever happened before!

But that is what the biography of Job is really about: how this extraordinary man managed not only to express his unique vision through decades of breakthrough work, and how he managed at the same time to organize a company around his efforts, and then how that company came to be valued as one of the top companies in the world, just behind (or above, depending on the stock market on any given day) the world’s mightiest oil behemoths.
