Steve Jobs made people feel as if they could do anything. He energized and inspired his people and the world. He defined ‘cool’ by living his belief in innovation. Steve could make you believe that everything Apple did was special. He was about the details.
Great business leaders can teach us much about how to manage our families, especially our stepfamilies. Fifteen years ago, Apple was broke and today Apple is the most valuable company in the United States. If you are sitting in your home right now and feeling as if your family is broke, don’t give up. Take a lesson from Steve Jobs. Innovate.
What can you do that would be completely outside of the box? What can you do that makes you ‘cool’? How can you make your spouse and your children feel as if they are special? Specifically, how can you help to make them feel ‘cool’? The next time you serve dinner, what little detail can you include that would make that dinner fun?
For sure, Steve had a bold vision for Apple. He envisioned an innovative company that would change the way people viewed the world. What is your vision for your family? Here’s mine. We can save the world, one stepfamily at a time, by showing the universe that love knows no boundaries or biology.
Thanks, Steve for everything!
