discussion prompt
Apple co-founder Steve Jobs was a controversial leader. On the one hand, he is credited with creating the most valuable company in the world. On the other hand, people say he was very difficult to work for. In this video, one of his former employees, Andy Miller (Links to an external site.), describes his experience: What an Interview with Steve Jobs Feels Like (Intimidating Personality)
(Links to an external site.)
His biographer wrote the following in an HBR article, “The Real Leadership Lessons of Steve Jobs” (April 2012):
The essence of Jobs, I think, is that his personality was integral to his way of doing business. He acted as if the normal rules didnt apply to him, and the passion, intensity, and extreme emotionalism he brought to everyday life were things he also poured into the products he made. His petulance and impatience were part and parcel of his perfectionism.
One of the last times I saw him, after I had finished writing most of the book, I asked him again about his tendency to be rough on people. Look at the results, he replied. These are all smart people I work with, and any of them could get a top job at another place if they were truly feeling brutalized. But they dont. Then he paused for a few moments and said, almost wistfully, And we got some amazing things done.
