In Inside Apple, Adam Lashinsky provides listeners with insight on leadership and innovation. He introduces Apple business concepts, such as the 'DRI' (Apple's practice of assigning a Directly Responsible Individual to every task) and the Top 100 (an annual event at which that year's top 100 up-and-coming executives were surreptitiously transported to a secret retreat with company founder Steve Jobs).

What if, instead of trying to predict the future, we could just pick the one we want - and then invent it? Well, we can. Think of the wealth of technological resources already available to us.

Now, try to imagine 2050, when your computing devices will be a million times more powerful or available at one-millionth of today's prices.

It is no secret that there has been a significant lack of representation for female leaders throughout businesses. You only have to cast your mind to the first three people you think of when you hear the phrase “great leader”, and the chances are that they’re all male.

And as a result, there are plenty of books that help men get on the path to leadership; the same cannot be said for books aimed at ambitious women.
