The Transformational Leadership of Steve Jobs
Anyone and everyone who owns a Smartphone must be thankful to Steve Jobs, the late legendary founder of the tech firm, Apple, who not only ushered in the Smartphone revolution, but was also singlehandedly responsible for changing our perceptions about what a mobile phone can and could do.
Indeed, one Summer Day in 2007, Steve Jobs, took the podium in a special gathering summoned for the express purpose of announcing a mini-revolution wherein he spoke about how at times, a product is invented that combines technology, innovation, and ease of use to change the way the world works.
As he unveiled the Apple iPhone, Jobs made sure that the audience assembled there as well as the wider world would know how the game changing iPhone could now work as a mobile phone, a computer, and a personal assistant all rolled into one. Moreover, for the first time, we had a product that had more computing power than earlier era Satellites as well as a pioneering personal assistant right in our hands.
Thus, was born the Smartphone revolution that transformed the entire tech industry and gave rise to a generation of entrepreneurs who based their businesses around the concept of apps and other mobile telephony as well as computing business lines.
Inspirational Leader
Lastly, the life and leadership of Steve Jobs is also inspirational as he was in his childhood, put up for adoption by his biological mother who could not afford to raise him and he went through a traumatic childhood and adolescence that were anything but pleasant.
It is to his credit that he did not let such aspects bog him down too much and continued to succeed despite the odds.
Further, he was also kicked out by the very firm that he founded only to return a few years later to rejuvenate Apple.
To conclude, with Apple reaching a Trillion Dollar stock market valuation (remember a Trillion is a Thousand Billions which is a Thousand Millions), we can be sure that Jobs is resting in peace.
