Ken Kocienda saw Steve Jobs and Brian Chesky work up close and found that they had few key similarities. They both had deep intuition, a tireless work ethic, an unwavering commitment to their vision, and a fantastic ability to effectively guide and empower their teams. At the same time, they had differences such as Steve Jobs advocating for leaving smart people alone, while Chesky believed that founders needed to be more in contact with the “lower levels” of the company.
