IntroductionSteve Jobs was a genius of the modern era, he gave us tools to change our lives and the way we communicate. Steven Paul Jobs was born on February 24, 1955 and was adopted by Paul and Ciara Jobs a few weeks after his birth. The family moved to San Francisco, to a town called Mountain View, California, where Steve grew up and discovered his passion for computer electronics. He quickly teamed up with his neighbor Steve Wozniak (Woz) and realized they both shared an interest in computers that blossomed into a partnership. Starting from scratch, Jobs and Woz began assembling very basic computer motherboards that could be connected to a display in their garage. Steve and Woz created Apple Computers, which became the largest and most successful computer company in the world and surpassed Bill Gates and Windows. Steve's eye for the beauty of technology and his passion for user experience are key factors in Apple's success. Steve Jobs had a rather unique and controversial leadership style that was heavily scrutinized by his board of directors as well as his employees, but ultimately led to the company's success. Jobs's leadership could be defined by saying that he used the relational leadership model or the transformational leadership model, or even the great man model of leadership, but the truth was that Steve Jobs did not fit into just one of these models. Jobs had a genuine and indecent philosophy and leadership style, which caused a lot of friction within Apple. Jobs was known for flogging his employees, working them to death, and then throwing them out once he was done with them.Literature ReviewThe following articles were reviewed in an effort to examine leadership style d'Ap...... middle of article ......New York: Simon & Schuster.Jobs, S.
