He was a jerk also, but it all turned out for the better for everyone in the product. He was a very hard determined worker and believed in only the best for the customers. I think he was kind hearted as well because of how much he cared about the users. He deserves the credit of building an excellent company and products.

The ever changing world of entrepreneurs seems to be advancing more and more each day. Although this unique and highly advanced field is home to many great entrepreneurs, one in particular has made a great impact in our world today, Steve Jobs. It is for this reason that I have decided to make Steve Jobs my topic of choice. Jobs was a creatively advanced individual from San Francisco, California who had a sea of ideas that would soon come to make a worldwide impact in society. Jobs had many talents in the technological world, from inventing new electronics to running a film company, but the one which brought his hard work to light was his creation and collaboration with the Apple Company.

In June of 2005, many people gathered to hear Steve Jobs’ commencement speech at Stanford. At the time, Jobs had just returned to Apple and was working on the new iPod. Years earlier, Jobs also had previously undergone pancreatic surgery. These are the main stories that were acknowledged and Jobs’ used these to convey his talking points. The lessons that Jobs learned throughout his many years in Silicon Valley are not only for the recent graduates but also for everyone else who was in attendance. His use of logos in this speech is clear as even though speaking his own thoughts, he uses history to justify them. Steve also uses emotions well when persuading others to chase their passion.

Throughout his life, Steve Jobs’ milestones have been applauded and criticized on a grand scale. A majority of the scrutiny has involved Jobs’ leadership after the founding of the Apple Company. Undoubtedly, Jobs’ risk-taking has led to the creation of revolutionary products such as the Apple II, iMac, iPod and iPad. However, Jobs’ was not as successful with his short-lived ventures with NeXT company. Although it is well suggested that Jobs’ failures helped him mature into a well-seasoned leader, his mistakes are also equally highlighted as an example of the defectiveness in his leadership style. However, history has decided to remember Jobs in a positive light. Hence, this leave the question: is Steve Jobs the iconic, revolutionary and effective leader the mass media portrays him to be?

The content analysis of Jobs’ various media reporting revealing the strengths and weaknesses in his background, vision, leadership traits and employee relations will be employed to express the validity of the thesis.

Imagine a world without computers or smart phones. What would society do? Where would modern technology be? All it took was one man with an innovative vision to revolutionize modern day society as we know it.

According to an article by Forbes (Gallo, 2013), Jobs stated “how does somebody know what they want if they haven’t even seen it?”. Jobs paved the way for the products we know and use today such as the iPod and iPad and it started with the establishment of Apple. Jobs unorthodox methods and drive for success drove many business partners to the brink just as he did with his Apple Mobile Me project team. Jobs may have been deemed a bit eccentric, but his visionary influence inspired me to become a visionary leader. I try to emulate his passion and vision in such a way to motivate and stimulate our Airmen to think outside the box. I truly believe this is paramount for young Airmen in becoming better leaders for the future and sustainment of our Air Force. While Steve Jobs vision was merely a dream any entrepreneur would desire to achieve, he managed to transform several industries forever.
