Topic > Steve Jobs, Visicalc.: The Success of Apple Inc.

“How to effectively lead an organization depends on many factors such as organizational culture, follower behavior and the leader's personal traits” ( Toma and Marinescu 1). Leadership is a multidimensional concept essential in every sector of society. It can be described as the social interaction between a leader and his followers. Steve Jobs' leadership ability had a direct effect on the personal computer. A key mantra of Steve's leadership method was simplicity. Less was more, yet sometimes something so simple could be more difficult than something complex. Creating a product as minimalist as possible was critical to reaching the largest market, and as a result, Apple Inc.'s product designs fused function with form. It promoted the idea that technology could be used not just by hobbyists or computer geeks. Promoting such an idea was essential to Apple's early success in the technology world as it was about making people's lives easier.
