JOB’S LEADERSHIP
Like a transformational leader, he focuses on "transforming" others to help each other, to look out for each other, to be encouraging and harmonious, and to look out for the organization as a whole.
At Apple, he is seen as a leader whose brilliance and idealistic vision of "providing computers as a tool to change the world," drew other talented people to him
His Leadership creates valuable and positive change in the followers.
In his leadership, he enhances the motivation, morale and performance of his follower group. Some people also categorize him as a charismatic leader.
