Steve Jobs Impact On Society
Steve Jobs was a global sensation, revolutionizing the modern day lifestyle. Jobs invented the iphone, the ipod and the iMac, which were all
groundbreaking new technologies at the time. Similarly, this idea of changing culture patterns can be seen 200,000 years ago when Homo–Sapiens
began to conduct cave art. This was a very impactful event as it tells us that this was the time where consciousness began to take place. This changed
lifestyles as cave art began to create settlement and small cities. As the climate changed, there was a population boom which resulted in a bigger need
for food. This was the mark of the Neolithic age. Agriculture became a huge source of food as it was the first steady food source. Because of this, more

Steve Jobs Essay
Steve Jobs was born on February 25, 1955. He was soon adopted by Paul and Clara Jobs of Mountain View, CA. Steve wasn't happy at school in
Mountain View so the family moved to Palo Alto, CA. Steve attended Homestead High School. His electronics teacher recalled that he was
"something of a loner" and "always had a different way of looking at things". [www.apple–history.com] After school, Steve attended lectures at Hewlett
Packard Electronics firm in Palo Alto, CA. There he was hired as a summer employee. Another employee at Hewlett–Packard was Steven Wozniak, a
recent drop–out from the University of California, Berkeley. "Woz" was an engineering whiz with a passion for inventing electric gadgets. He worked

They marketed it at a price of $666.00 in 1976. The Apple I was the first computer with one board. It had a built in video interface, on board
ROM–which told the machine hold to load programs from an external source. Jobs and Wozniak managed $774,000.00 in sales from the Apple I.
Soon after they started working on the Apple II. The Apple II supported built in circuitry allowing it to connect to a color video monitor. Jobs
encouraged programmers to write code and the result was some 16,000 programs for the Apple II. In 1977, Apple hired the most successful PR men
in Silicon Valley, Regis McKenna and Nolan Bushnell. They were both very good marketers and public relation men on Apple's board of directors. In
the first seven years of Apple's existence, Steve Jobs had created a strong productive company with growth rates of over 150% a year. Then IBM
muscled its way into the PC market. In two years, IBM PC's had taken over as the top selling computer in the PC industry. Steven countered the PC
movement by introducing the Macintosh. The "Mac" was radical, it was all driven by a mouse and had a graphical display. When the machine was
introduced during the Super Bowl in 1984, Steve Jobs described it as kind of like watching a gladiator going to the arena and saying "here it is".

Steve Jobs was born on February 24, 1955 in Los Altos, California. He is Co–founder, Chairman, and former CEO of Apple Inc. Steve Jobs and Steve
Wozniak high school friends and both college dropouts joined together to start Apple Computer in 1976. They are credited for inventing the first
computer for home use. They made it possible for people to have a computer anywhere in their home, or on an office desk, where previously a single
computer took up a whole room. There creation changed the world. However Steve Jobs didn't change what was in the products but how they looked,

He didn't only pay attention to what was in his products but what they looked like and what they meant to his buyers. That is how he changed the
world, not with what his products have in them, all of the components of his products are the same as any other out there, but with how they look and
what they make easier in our lives. No one goes out and says oh I'm going to buy a MP3 player that's only 29.00$, they're going to want to buy Apples
iPod even if they have the same software. When you buy an apple product you're not just buying the actual product your buying what the product
represents. Job's ability to take what he wants in a phone, portable music device, and computer and make it real and wanted by the masses is a gift.
In conclusion, Steve Jobs changed the world not only with the invention of the Apple II in 76'which was in collaboration with Steve Wozniak, but with
how he thinks. When Job's thinks of the next big thing in technology he thinks about what he would want. He makes products that make life easier,

Steve Jobs Commencement Speech Essay
When it comes to giving speeches, such as the one that the late Steve Jobs gave at Stanford University, the speaker must grab the attention of the
audience. The best way to grab the attention of the audience is by using ethos, pathos and logos. Jobs used all of these in his Commencement speech
at Stanford University on June 12, 2005. There were three stories he told about his life during this speech. Within those stories he used pathos to add
light the failures and the successes he had faced throughout his lifetime. He shared at the beginning of his speech that he had never graduated college

He gave many good points about life throughout his speech but the one that most likely affected the audience was when he said that you have to trust in
something to create your path in life because whatever is meant to be with come eventually. Jobs used this speech to connect with the audience
and inspire the graduates of Stanford University. He wanted to show the students that you could go from nothing to something if you connect
with something you love and live your life. In his speech he used a quote which said ВЁ If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll
most certainly be right.ВЁ Jobs and his company partner Waz went from being twenty years old in his parents garage working on the first
Macintosh to being thirty years old and owning a two billion dollar company with more than four thousand employees. Jobs went from being a
nobody to being one of the most well known names in our nation in a matter of just ten years. He not only showed how he created a name for
himself; he showed guidance to the graduates of Stanford University. Guidance to live their life the way they intend to not the way society believes
they should. Morals is a huge deal for Jobs; he used ethos to connect this with the audience. Jobs became a mentor for those graduates that day. Jobs is
the definition of success and the audience can see that by the way he delivers his speech. Jobs claims ВЁBut don't be

Reflection Paper On Steve Jobs
"This is the closest I've been to a graduation." These words spoken humbly and authentic, by the late Steve Jobs at a commencement ceremony for the
class of 2005 at the very prestigious Stanford University, was the beginning of a masterpiece, a speech that was designed to encourage and empower
those young college graduates to take on the world, trust their gut, and follow their dreams and aspirations in life. Significantly, Jobs grabs and holds
the attention of his young audience by recounting 3 brief, yet meaningful stories. Each story followed the moments in his life that impacted and made
him Steve Jobs. Above all, it was not the words itself that captivated my mind, but it was the purpose behind them that fed my soul. After reading

Stupidly, I found myself disregarding my success, obliterating my failures, and moving on without taking one look back. But, after reading Jobs
speech I learned to simply connect the dots. Rewind, remember, and reflect on the events that led to where you are today. Secondly, I was
reminded, through Steve's Jobs speech, to search and thirst after my passion. His second story was about love and loss. In this story, he retells his
sudden dismissal from his job at Apple. He portrays a picture of hurt, devastation, betrayal, and sudden loss. Sadly, his job, passion, and his why
was gone at the snap of a finger. Or was it? See, after losing his job he still had that fire and passion for what he did. The loss of his job was meant to
break him, but instead, it fueled him to continue doing what he cherished. As a result, he moved on and created a company entitled Next. Moreover,
my freshman year of high school I tried out for the junior varsity cheerleading squad. After a long week of tryouts, we finally received the results. I
was so nervous and anxious to see if my name was on the list. To make a long story short, I didn't make it, but it was the fervor I had for
cheerleading that made me go out and try again the next year. It was a certain fire in me the next go around that got me a position on the squad, and a

Here is how he did it.
Born in San Francisco in February 1955 to two unmarried graduate students, Steve was put up for adoption within a week of his birth. He was
adopted by Paul and Clara Jobs, who soon after moved to Mountain View, California, a rural town Silicon Valley. Steven Paul Jobs was named after
his adoptive father who was a machinist. A neighbor down the street introduced him to the wonders of electronics, which taught him about the inner
workings of products. When Jobs was 13 he got a job at HP Factory which was where he met Steve Wozniak who shared the same passion for
electronics. Wozniak was an electronic genius who built his own personal computer for fun. They later become business partners.
Steve attended Reed College, Oregon, and then dropped out after the first semester although he would unofficially attend classes in subjects that
interested him, like calligraphy.
Jobs returned to California and briefly took a job at Atari, one of the first companies he worked for in order to save money for a trip to India for
enlightenment. He shortly resigned and left for India with an old friend.
On his return Steve started hanging around Wozniak, the electronic genius. The Apple Computer was formed on April fool's Day 1976, after Jobs and
Wozniak created a new computer circuit board in Jobs's family garage. The Apple 1 computer goes on sale by the summer for $666.66.

Paul Jobs: Bring Your Pet To School
Paul Jobs was raised in Germantown, Wisconsin and became a Coast Guard in World War II. He made a bet with his friends that he would be able
to find a wife within two weeks. He met Clara Hagopian, who was born in New Jersey after her parents fled the Turks in Armenia, and the couple
was engaged within ten days. Clara realized that she could not have children, so the married couple looked at adoption (Issacson 28–29). Joanna
Schieble was a graduate student at the University of Wisconsin. She lived within a strict household where her father was extremely strict about dating.

Steve saw his first computer terminal on a trip to the Ames Center with his father. When he saw it, he fell in love with it and realized he had a
passion for electronics (Issacson 37). Clara Jobs taught her son how to read before he had to go to school. This caused Steve's first years of school
to be quite boring, so he acted out. He was in trouble countless times for things such as making posters for "Bring Your Pet to School," which
produced cats and dogs running around the school and he set off an explosive under his teacher's desk (Issacson 41–42). Ms. Imogene Hill, Steve's
fourth grade teacher, tested Steve at the end of the school year and he scored at a tenth grade level. The teachers and administrators urged Steve to
move up two grades, but his parents only advised him to skip one grade (Issacson 43). Steve Jobs had a normal high school career: he went to school,
worked, and bought a car. Steve tried not going to college, but his parents would not let him because they made a promise to his biological parents.
He decided to go to Reed College in Portland, Oregon, which was a private liberal arts school (Issacson 66). Jobs rapidly became uninterested with
college. He did not like to take the mandatory classes and refused to go. He felt bad about spending his parents' money on classes that did not matter,
so he dropped out of college. He did not want to leave Reed, but remain with his friends in the dorms and the college allowed him to stay (Issacson

Critical Analysis Of Steve Jobs
Steve Jobs once said "Being the richest man in the century doesn't matter to me. Going to bed at night saying we've done something wonderful, that's
what matters to me". In 2013, Open Road Films released the movie Jobs paying tribute to Steve Jobs, co–founder of Apple Inc. The movie takes place
in Cupertino, California where Steve Jobs (Ashton Kutcher), and Steve Wozniak (Josh Gad), spark a revolution in home computer systems in Steve's
garage. The beginning of the movie takes place in 2001, where Steve Jobs is introducing the new iPod at an Apple meeting, it then flashes back to
1976 where it all began. After Jobs and Wozniak introduced the Apple 1 to Paul Terrell, he encourages them to come up with an even greater model.
Later on, in 1977 they release the Apple 2 with the help of the recently hired Rod Helt, guiding them to the vast success of the Apple 2. After the
release, it becomes an instant hit with the American people and would be the start of an industry that would soon become one of the most successful
companies in the world. The movie Jobs portrays the idea of a brilliant innovator in Steve Jobs, who deals with successes in the newfound industry of
computer systems and comes face to face with his personality and hardships through the industry. The movie Jobs shows a variety of ways how Steve

One of his most well–known speech and one of my favorites that I saw on YouTube is his 2005 Stanford Commencement Address. Here, he shared
his passion through retelling his remarkable past. His message was to follow your heart even if others think you are foolish. Jobs added that it is
critical to find your love in life. Finally, he thinks that one should live their own life since life is too short to live how others want you to.

This drew the audience attention towards him. Finally, Steve Jobs looked across the crowd well. He was able to connect to the audience by doing this,
because he almost demanded their attention.
Finally, the speech was inspirational due to the way it was structured. He started out by connecting to the audience by telling them his agenda, which
was 'just three stories'. He started each story with a signal phrase, which for example, was "My second story is about". This gave a sense of familiarity,
which engaged the audience. After each introduction, he went into an inspirational story that related to his life as well as the audiences. After he tolda
story, he connected it with an inspirational message. Each message built on each other and created his main message of the speech. Finally, he ended
the speech by tying everything together by saying, "Stay hungry, stay foolish" (Steve Jobs'). This ending was simple yet effective, because the audience
will remember it.
I will incorporate many aspects of Steve Jobs' speech into my own. First, I will practice and use well–timed pauses during key moments in my speech.
Instead of saying um, you know or other fillers, I will try to add pauses. I will do this by listening to my favorite song while I practice my speech. This
will help me gain a natural flow to my speech, and I can add pauses where there are transitions or key parts. Next, I will work on being more

One of Jobs' greatest quotes on leadership is "Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower" (Jobs, 2006).
Steve Jobs' leadership style is very difficult to clearly identify. Jobs' characteristics and traits sporadically fit into different leadership styles. Jobs
would be classified as an autocratic leader, he tells people what to do, asserting themselves, and serving as a model team member. Jobs was
definitely not a democratic leader, it has been said that Jobs hated team meetings and was rather rude when employees spoke their mind. Steve Jobs
could also be classified as entrepreneurial, despite the fact that he is a multibillionaire, his work ethic never changed. Andrew Dubrin defines an
entrepreneur as "someone with a strong will for achievement and a sensible risk taking, high degree of enthusiasm, tendency to act quickly on
opportunity, being impatient, visionary, amongst others" (Dubrin, 2010). Dubrin's definition describes Steve Jobs to a tee. A transformational leader
is one who "brings about major, positive change for the group, organization or society" (Dubrin, 2010). Jobs' leadership showed many similarities to a
transformational leader except one, Jobs lacked the humane qualities necessary. Jobs' could also be considered a charismatic leader. Steve's
exceptional ability to captivate his audience during a speech is the time his charisma can be clearly seen. Jobs could fit himself into

According to my view, Steve Jobs was a successful leader and proved hid proficiency through the success of his company. Not only Apple's product
are great, but the main fact they became the most innovative company of world was due to the reason that Steve Jobs had a clear leadership model
and he knew what worked and what did not.
Steve Jobs was not only a role model for his team but also to people all around the world. People were always curious about the secret behind hid
success and focused on everything he ever said.. He gained and had a great deal of respect from followers and this is what a good leader wants,
Respect. Any leader who lacked the respect from his followers will be unsuccessful at the end of the day. Similarly, the leader who don't his
follower is also going to be unsuccessful., the team will likely lose spirit and feel as if they are not properly being guided for their goals and their
tribulations. All of this will inevitably result in a failed business or loss of a company. All this support my starting argument that a company may have
everything going for it such as great products and amazing future goals, but a due to a lack of leadership and one can say bye–bye to that company, it
will create a negative environment in the progressive way of that company. Not just because that path–goal leadership theory has worked so

In this ever growing, rapid developing world as we can see today, there are many different successful leaders. As we know it, leaders are humans just

Hence, these are the seven principles and the core principles that Jobs lived by to be a successful and inspiring leader. I personally admire Steve
Jobs as he is one that does things in a very systematic manner which lead him to his success. Talking about success, in a YouTube video by
Jandafrique (2009), it shows Jobs himself explaining the rules of success. In the video, Jobs quoted, "You got to love it, you got to have passion".
I strongly agree to what Steve Jobs had said because to succeed, you need to be passionate about what you are doing. A given task would not be a
burden to one if that particular one loved their job. They would enjoy doing every bit of it if they love doing it, therefore making everything simpler
and faster to accomplish. Other than that,"No matter how smart you are, you need a team of great people" (Jobs cited in Jandafrique 2009) was also
quoted by Jobs. One cannot open an organization and work alone to be successful. It would almost be impossible. As quoted by John Heywood, "many
hands make light work." Therefore, this shows the ways and traits in which made Jobs an inspiring man.
One of the leadership traits that Jobs go by is his very own saying, "stay hungry, stay foolish" (Jash, n.d.). The meanings in which I interpreted from the
quote, is that one should always be looking out and have never ending questions to a

Introduction
Steve Jobs was known for his many incredible inventions. Although you might think that Steve Jobs was born famous, well he was not. Steve Jobs
started becoming famous and introducing gadgets around the age 29. Steve Jobs loved his job and did what he did the best and loved the most until
his death.
Early Life
Steve Jobs was born on February 24, 1955, developed a passion for machines, and worked at Hewlett– Packard's as a summer job while joining
Hewlett–Packard's Explorer Club. Steve Jobs was born in San Francisco, CA. Steve Jobs Biological parents were Joanne Schieble and Abdulfattah
Jandali, they fell in love and found out that they were going to have a baby. They had no money so they had to make a painful decision and give
the baby up for adoption. In addition, that baby was adopted by Paul and Clara Jobs who wanted a baby and named him Steve Jobs. Paul and Clara

Steve Jobs Pathos Analysis
1. In his speech, Steve Jobs presents several elements of pathos. Write down five of the examples that involve Jobs' use of pathos and explain why he
shares these elements with the audience.
The first story that uses pathos was the one he told about his biological mother giving him up for adoption. The second story that uses pathos was
the story he told about how his parents that adopted him wanted a girl at first. He also mentions that his real mother almost didn't sign the paper to
let him be adopted after she found out that the couple that wanted to adopt him had not been to college.The third story that uses pathos was the story
he told about dropping out of college. He had a huge money struggle during this time and even had to sleep on the floors of his friends dorms nightly.
His fourth story that uses pathos was the one he told about getting fired from his own company. This story had to hit the heart of many because it tells
the story of how he gets fired from something that he created. His fifth story that uses pathos was the story he told about death. This story told about
how he overcame cancer and how scared he was through it all. Jobs' shared all of these tragic stories with the audience to try and connect to them. He
most likely thought that if he could connect with the emotional side of the audience that they would really listen. In other words he did this to gain
their attention so that they would actually listen to him and hopefully be inspired about his life story.
2. Look back over the speech and find a line that is filled with ethos. Write it down. What does this fact show us about Jobs?
"We worked hard, and in 10 years Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion company with over 4,000 employees." This
fact shows us that he was just a normal person just like us, and that he started out on his own. It shows us how far he truly has come. It also allows
people to realize that they can do anything they set their mind to, just like Jobs did.

Lastly, Jobs describes his life philosophy, saying "Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life," meaning that he would live his
life doing what he likes, not what others like. Jobs impresses and convinces the audience through logic, pulling them in. This allows the graduates to be
inspired to take ahold of life.
Additionally, in hopes to create an emotional connection between the audience, Jobs tells deeply personal stories. He explains how life is about
connecting the dots. Through this story, Jobs talks about his youth from his adoption to his parents trying to afford to send him to Reed College.
Through Jobs creating a sense of honesty and a sense of empathy, the students and audience start to begin seeing Jobs as a real person. After creating
that sense, Jobs makes the students feel outraged after hearing his story about dropping out, building Apple, and then hearing about how he got fired
from his own job.This leaves the audience questions like, "How could that happen to a man like him? Then Jobs leaves them feeling fearful of their
own mortality after hearing about Jobs road with cancer. After having the graduates in the palms of his hands, Jobs leaves them with a message that he
did not have an easy beginning very much like the other graduates and that this message will be with them forever as they overcome obstacles to
success.

Steve Jobs
Can you imagine a world without Buzz Lightyear, Nemo, or Lightning McQueen? They may never have come to life without Steve Jobs. His vision
led to the creation of the iPhone, iPod, and iPad. Could you imagine the same man who was so visionary was also unethical? He was a man who
belittled his employees. He treated them with disrespect and had little tolerance for intellectual empathy. He relied on emotive content and bully tactics
to achieve results. Steve Jobs was a Visionary Leader and an Unethical Leader. This claim will be expanded by exploring how Jobs took Apple from
the brink of failing to one of the...show more content...
Unfortunately, his persistence in his pursuit of the Macintosh eventually led to him being fired from the very company he founded.
In 1983, Apple was worth eight dollars a share. When Jobs was fired from Apple, the company's value dropped to under two dollars per share
(Elmer–DeWitt, 2012). Jobs didn't let being fired from Apple slow him down. As described in the student guide, Team Dynamics lesson, Jobs was
a Creator (BCEE, 2016b). He believed in the possibilities of technology. As a Creator, he wasn't afraid of boundaries. He went on to create Pixar
Entertainment. Pixar become respected by creating films like Toy Story and Finding Nemo. While Jobs was focused on creating his next success,
his former company was dwindling. In 1996, Apple realized they needed Jobs back. The company was at the brink of shutting down. Why would a
company want back the very person they tossed aside? According to Tim Cook, the current CEO of Apple, Steve Jobs had "the courage to admit he
was wrong, and to change". Cook also asserted Jobs "wasn't beholden to anything except a set of core values" (Schlender, 2015) which ultimately
drove his success. His values and vision were needed to save Apple.
Upon his return to Apple, Jobs reversed the company's course and returned its vision back to where he originally saw it in 1985. He scrapped all
unnecessary projects and set his focus on the iMac and iPod. These products were what

In two years, IBM PC's had taken over as the top selling computer in the PC industry. Steven countered the PC movement by introducing the Macintosh. The "Mac" was radical, it was all driven by a mouse and had a graphical display. When the machine was introduced during the Super Bowl in 1984, Steve Jobs described it as kind of like watching a gladiator going to the arena and saying "here it is". [Scott 1991, page 71].

That is how he changed the world, not with what his products have in them, all of the components of his products are the same as any other out there, but with how they look and what they make easier in our lives. No one goes out and says oh I'm going to buy a MP3 player that's only 29.00$, they're going to want to buy Apples iPod even if they have the same software.

The best way to grab the attention of the audience is by using ethos, pathos and logos. Jobs used all of these in his Commencement speech at Stanford University on June 12, 2005. There were three stories he told about his life during this speech. Within those stories he used pathos to add light the failures and the successes he had faced throughout his lifetime.

Secondly, I was reminded, through Steve's Jobs speech, to search and thirst after my passion. His second story was about love and loss. In this story, he retells his sudden dismissal from his job at Apple. He portrays a picture of hurt, devastation, betrayal, and sudden loss. Sadly, his job, passion, and his why was gone at the snap of a finger. Or was it? See, after losing his job he still had that fire and passion for what he did. The loss of his job was meant to break him, but instead, it fueled him to continue doing what he cherished. As a result, he moved on and created a company entitled Next. Moreover, my freshman year of high school I tried out for the junior varsity cheerleading squad. After a long week of tryouts, we finally received the results.

A neighbor down the street introduced him to the wonders of electronics, which taught him about the inner workings of products.

Steve saw his first computer terminal on a trip to the Ames Center with his father. When he saw it, he fell in love with it and realized he had a passion for electronics (Issacson 37). Clara Jobs taught her son how to read before he had to go to school. This caused Steve's first years of school to be quite boring, so he acted out. He was in trouble countless times for things such as making posters for "Bring Your Pet to School," which produced cats and dogs running around the school and he set off an explosive under his teacher's desk (Issacson 41–42). Ms. Imogene Hill, Steve's fourth grade teacher, tested Steve at the end of the school year and he scored at a tenth grade level. The teachers and administrators urged Steve to move up two grades, but his parents only advised him to skip one grade (Issacson 43).

Steve tried not going to college, but his parents would not let him because they made a promise to his biological parents.

Going to bed at night saying we've done something wonderful, that's what matters to me". In 2013, Open Road Films released the movie Jobs paying tribute to Steve Jobs, co–founder of Apple Inc. The movie takes place in Cupertino, California where Steve Jobs (Ashton Kutcher), and Steve Wozniak (Josh Gad), spark a revolution in home computer systems in Steve's garage. The beginning of the movie takes place in 2001, where Steve Jobs is introducing the new iPod at an Apple meeting, it then flashes back to 1976 where it all began. After Jobs and Wozniak introduced the Apple 1 to Paul Terrell, he encourages them to come up with an even greater model. Later on, in 1977 they release the Apple 2 with the help of the recently hired Rod Helt, guiding them to the vast success of the Apple 2. After the release, it becomes an instant hit with the American people and would be the start of an industry that would soon become one of the most successful companies in the world. The movie Jobs portrays the idea of a brilliant innovator in Steve Jobs, who deals with successes in the newfound industry of computer systems and comes face to face with his personality and hardships through the industry.

Finally, he thinks that one should live their own life since life is too short to live how others want you to. One of the ways...show more content... This drew the audience attention towards him. Finally, Steve Jobs looked across the crowd well. He was able to connect to the audience by doing this, because he almost demanded their attention. Finally, the speech was inspirational due to the way it was structured. He started out by connecting to the audience by telling them his agenda, which was 'just three stories'. He started each story with a signal phrase, which for example, was "My second story is about". This gave a sense of familiarity, which engaged the audience. After each introduction, he went into an inspirational story that related to his life as well as the audiences. After he tolda story, he connected it with an inspirational message. Each message built on each other and created his main message of the speech. Finally, he ended the speech by tying everything together by saying, "Stay hungry, stay foolish" (Steve Jobs'). This ending was simple yet effective, because the audience will remember it. I will incorporate many aspects of Steve Jobs' speech into my own. First, I will practice and use well–timed pauses during key moments in my speech. Instead of saying um, you know or other fillers, I will try to add pauses. I will do this by listening to my favorite song while I practice my speech. This will help me gain a natural flow to my speech, and I can add pauses where there are transitions or key parts.

One of Jobs' greatest quotes on leadership is "Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower" (Jobs, 2006). Steve Jobs' leadership style is very difficult to clearly identify. Jobs' characteristics and traits sporadically fit into different leadership styles. Jobs would be classified as an autocratic leader, he tells people what to do, asserting themselves, and serving as a model team member. Jobs was definitely not a democratic leader, it has been said that Jobs hated team meetings and was rather rude when employees spoke their mind. Steve Jobs could also be classified as entrepreneurial, despite the fact that he is a multibillionaire, his work ethic never changed. Andrew Dubrin defines an entrepreneur as "someone with a strong will for achievement and a sensible risk taking, high degree of enthusiasm, tendency to act quickly on opportunity, being impatient, visionary, amongst others" (Dubrin, 2010). Dubrin's definition describes Steve Jobs to a tee. A transformational leader is one who "brings about major, positive change for the group, organization or society" (Dubrin, 2010). Jobs' leadership showed many similarities to a transformational leader except one, Jobs lacked the humane qualities necessary. Jobs' could also be considered a charismatic leader. Steve's exceptional ability to captivate his audience during a speech is the time his charisma can be clearly seen. Jobs could fit himself into Get more content on HelpWriting.net

According to my view, Steve Jobs was a successful leader and proved hid proficiency through the success of his company. Not only Apple's product are great, but the main fact they became the most innovative company of world was due to the reason that Steve Jobs had a clear leadership model and he knew what worked and what did not. Steve Jobs was not only a role model for his team but also to people all around the world. People were always curious about the secret behind hid success and focused on everything he ever said.. He gained and had a great deal of respect from followers and this is what a good leader wants, Respect. Any leader who lacked the respect from his followers will be unsuccessful at the end of the day. Similarly, the leader who don't his follower is also going to be unsuccessful., the team will likely lose spirit and feel as if they are not properly being guided for their goals and their tribulations. All of this will inevitably result in a failed business or loss of a company. All this support my starting argument that a company may have everything going for it such as great products and amazing future goals, but a due to a lack of leadership and one can say bye–bye to that company, it will create a negative environment in the progressive way of that company. Not just because that path–goal leadership theory has worked so Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 14. Steve Jobs In this ever growing, rapid developing world as we can see today, there are many different successful leaders. As we know it, leaders are humans just like everyone else. How did they manage to stand out from the crowd? What did they do to achieve great success for an organization? As of all the successful leaders in the world, Steve Jobs is one of the successful leaders that managed to achieve great success for an organization. Therefore, Steve Jobs is the leader that I personally admire and would like to emulate.

Hence, these are the seven principles and the core principles that Jobs lived by to be a successful and inspiring leader. I personally admire Steve Jobs as he is one that does things in a very systematic manner which lead him to his success. Talking about success, in a YouTube video by Jandafrique (2009), it shows Jobs himself explaining the rules of success. In the video, Jobs quoted, "You got to love it, you got to have passion". I strongly agree to what Steve Jobs had said because to succeed, you need to be passionate about what you are doing. A given task would not be a burden to one if that particular one loved their job. They would enjoy doing every bit of it if they love doing it, therefore making everything simpler and faster to accomplish. Other than that,"No matter how smart you are, you need a team of great people" (Jobs cited in Jandafrique 2009) was also quoted by Jobs. One cannot open an organization and work alone to be successful. It would almost be impossible. As quoted by John Heywood, "many hands make light work." Therefore, this shows the ways and traits in which made Jobs an inspiring man. One of the leadership traits that Jobs go by is his very own saying, "stay hungry, stay foolish" (Jash, n.d.). The meanings in which I interpreted from the quote, is that one should always be looking out and have never ending questions to a Get more content on HelpWriting.net

Unfortunately, his persistence in his pursuit of the Macintosh eventually led to him being fired from the very company he founded. In 1983, Apple was worth eight dollars a share. When Jobs was fired from Apple, the company's value dropped to under two dollars per share (Elmer–DeWitt, 2012). Jobs didn't let being fired from Apple slow him down.
