In this sentence -
During the tenure of Steve Jobs, memorable both for his dictatorial management style and his groundbreaking product innovations, the growth of Apple was exceeded by that of no other large technology company in the world.
I'm trying to focus on the parallelism here. I identified the parallelism here as -
memorable both for
- his dictatorial management style
and
- his groundbreaking product innovations
But it seems the real parallelism in this sentence is-
memorable both
- for his dictatorial management style
and
- his groundbreaking product innovations
The latter clearly has parallelism error. But initial reading of the sentence made me catch the wrong branching here (the one I mentioned in the first case)
So my question is - How do we correctly identify the branches in parallelism?

When you see "both ... and," the structure starts at "both."
John eats both apples and oranges.
Sue both cycles and surfs.

For the sentences you gave, both X and Y is something you can look out for.
Consider filtering for questions on gmatclub with the "Parallelism" tag to specifically practice them if you feel this is a weak spot.
