5 leadership lessons from Mac OS X Lion launch

Steve Jobs headed up another seemingly successful Apple product launch Wednesday, taking to the stage in Cupertino to announce a revamped MacBook Air and updated operating system. Jobs and the other Apple bigwigs not only rolled out a few drool-worthy products, they also offered a more subtle lesson in business leadership.

Fast Company pinpointed five leadership lessons doled out at the Back to the Mac event that business-minded folks can take home. (A cheaper take home than a $1499 MacBook Air, no doubt.)


  • Adapt. Take note of what works with one product line and apply it to your other product lines.
  • Rethink. Don’t straight up copy “what works” within your product line.
  • Stand strong. Don’t follow trends blindly and hold your ground on things of value to your customers.
  • Understand. Read between the lines of what you’re really selling.
  • Sparkle. Add a touch of pizazz.
