Less "sheer force of will" and annoying arrogance and stubbornness.
Reminder that Jobs is not a good role model. A lot of his decisions were erratic and based on what might as well have been undiagnosed BPD.

That’s what makes Apple different than other tech companies. They have an extreme attention to detail that extends even to their packaging.
And it was often for details that didn't matter. Like the exact shape of the curve of the plastic housing of some long-forgotten iMac. People just want computers that work and that don't look like total crap, they don't even notice the corner radius or whether the motherboard (excuse me, "logic board") is aesthetically pleasing according to the genius that took one class on calligraphy at Reed College.
I once saw him absolutely dismantle, over the course of an hour, an intern that made the mistake of asking one stupid question.
Details that don’t matter to you might matter to someone else, and vice versa.
