Ben Klaiber: Making Things Better - Timeless Lessons from Steve Jobs on Fixing What's Broken, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Most business books about Steve Jobs focus on genius, personality, or mythology. This book focuses on method.

Making Things Better examines how Steve Jobs consistently fixed what was broken-in products, organizations, and systems-and how those same patterns apply far beyond Apple. Drawing on Jobs's real-world decisions during Apple's near-collapse and historic turnaround, the book distills practical, repeatable approaches to diagnosing failure, restoring coherence, and rebuilding momentum.

Rather than offering leadership theory or abstract frameworks, this work focuses on systems: how fragmented tools, misaligned incentives, and inherited assumptions quietly erode performance-and how disciplined design thinking reverses that damage. The result is a field-tested guide to improving execution without relying on charisma, heroics, or large-scale restructuring.

Written for executives, operators, technologists, and students of organizational design, Making Things Better bridges business strategy, product thinking, and human-centered systems design. It is particularly relevant for readers studying innovation, management, entrepreneurship, and the long-term impact of technology on organizations.

This is not a biography. It is not a motivational book. It is a practical examination of how clarity, conviction, and well-designed systems produce durable results-and how those principles can be applied anywhere work is broken.

Fix what's broken. Before it breaks you.
