Last year (September 20, 2010) came to light the 1st edition of “The INNOVATION SECRETS of Steve Jobs“.
The Insanely Different Principles for Breakthrough Success – Based on the 7 Guiding Principles of Apple CEO Steve Jobs that I strongly recommend to learn more about public speaking and about innovation.
Again on Steve Jobs (read “SIATE AFFAMATI; SIATE FOLLI” – “Steve Jobs’ Keynote 2008. MacBook Air” – “Steve Jobs pensieri“), again on public speaking, again on innovation.
Those ones are what we love!
Then, in Mark Howell´s post about this subject you can find the following interesting lines: “Think Differently about How You Think points out “five skills that separate true innovators from the rest of us”:
– Associating: Innovators seek out diverse experiences
– Questioning: Innovators get a kick out of questioning the status quo
– Experimenting: Successful innovators engage in “active” experimentation
– Networking: Innovators surround themselves with interesting people who expand their domain of knowledge
– Observing: Innovators watch people carefully, especially the behavior of potential customers”
