Why We Shouldn’t Romanticize Steve Jobs the CEO
內容大綱
Apple, the tech firm founded by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak in 1976, could soon be a trillion-dollar enterprise. Its power to invoke fear in competitors is directly related to Jobs’s success as a market disruptor. But while Jobs’s passion for the design and quality of products created under his leadership is worth trying to emulate, the leader character of the man is not. Besides significant shortcomings in his personal life, Jobs had no problem taking credit for work done by others and declined to join The Giving Pledge. His burning passion for design caused him to fail as a businessperson more than once, and much of Apple’s success can actually be attributed to happenstance and good fortune. While the business world can learn a lot from Steve Jobs, the leader character of Apple’s legendary co-founder is not pedestal-worthy.
