Brent Schlender and Rick Tetzeli's 2015 biography of Steve Jobs — drawing on decades of personal access Schlender had to Jobs — which presents a more complete and sympathetic portrait than Isaacson's authorized biography, tracking Jobs's evolution from the difficult young founder through his Pixar and NeXT years.
Provides the most accurate account of Jobs's growth as a leader — the specific lessons he learned from his years at NeXT and Pixar (hiring, collaboration, patience) that made his second Apple act different from the first — presenting Jobs as someone who genuinely grew rather than simply returning as the same person.
