Steve
Jobs is probably one of the most well-known and admired CEO in a worldwide. His
achievement of building his career as a successful businessman definitely gave
strong impressions to the youngest generation. Then let’s question to
ourselves. Why do you think that Steve Jobs is the most influential and
respected man among others? There are other renowned public faces such as Bill
Gates, President Barack Obama, Mark Zuckerberg etc, who are also respected, but
still Steve Job is always ranked first place for the “Greatest Business Leaders
of all time.” Without pondering it, Steve Jobs deserves high recognition than
any other successfully renowned CEO’s because of his cutting-edge inventions
and his outstanding leadership.
To
begin with, Steve Jobs deserves high recognition because he obviously invented
technologies that brought revolutionary innovation in our century. To be
specific, he had created unprecedented tools that have never been expected or
seemed to be possible, which impressed the world. When Apple released the 1st
iPhone generation in January 2007, people were in fact not motivated, and said
the device was “obsolete.” Even though the first start of iPhone business was not
really successful, Steve Jobs eagerly devoted his efforts, developing the iPhone
into more delicate and portable device. After the time passes, Steve Jobs
finally announced the new feature of iPhone, a high-technology device that is
worked by multi-touch screen, in 2011 and the result came out that new version
of iPhone was sold twice as the original version. Eventually, his continuous study
and marketing had led to create one of the most selling smart phone in a world,
and even for Apple Company to become the center in technology field.
Moreover,
his potential and charismatic personality as a leader is one crucial factor
that highlighted his recognition. We may expect that Jobs had always stepped successful path, but in reality, he had faced lots of difficulties and failures which affected his career. First,
Steve Jobs was adopted and raised in a poor family, so he had very limited
chance of receiving more education or financial supports from his family. In
fact, he actually dropped off the university and started his own business by himself.
Unlike successful CEO like Bill Gates who was raised in wealthy lawyer family,
Steve Jobs had to build his own career all of by himself, which definitely made
him more stronger and independent leader. Moreover, as a big example, Steve
Jobs was fired in his own company by his co-workers. This was a tremendous breakdown
to Steve Jobs because he felt extreme shame and betrayal from his people, who
did not like Jobs’s stubborn and dictated personality. Although Steve Jobs was
kicked out in his own company, he later on returned to Apple again after his
new start in his new business with new co-workers in a new environment. Because
Steve Jobs had brought successful and prominent result in his new business, he
was once again get recognition in business field and was called back again to
Apple. Hence, his patience, passion and tenacity toward his dream were keys to
his success.
Overall,
it is clear fact that Steven Jobs works and his innate personality has
gradually distinguished him as a recognizable figure. His revolutionary
inventions brought new change in modern world and it became possible to live in
more comfortable and protected society by using this high-tech devices. In
addition, his eager passion and continuous challenges even at unfortunate situation
were crucial factors of his success. In point of fact, Steve Jobs probably
deserves to get more praises from other successful businessmen, because he had
done all of his works by himself even in a difficult environment. By looking at
these characteristics, there is no doubt that he is called the “genius of the
century.”
