People want to be inspired.

Steve Jobs
How Jobs Defined a Leader:
• Being inspiring means showing people the big
picture.

• Make people understand how their part fits into

the big picture.

• Telling people how your organization is going to

change the world.

• Inspiring is not easy.

Apply what you preach:

• A lot of companies have chosen to downsize, and maybe that

was the right thing for them. We chose a different path.

• The people who are doing the work are the moving force
behind the Macintosh. My job is to create a space for them,
to clear out the rest of the organization and keep it at bay.

• Innovation distinguishes us.

• I think we're having fun. And we're always trying to do

better.
“We want someone who will inspire us to be what we
know we could be."

• People want to follow authentic people not cardboard cut-outs.

• A master in maximising opportunities for the business.

• Analyse, dissect and absorb the needs and wants of followers.

• Recognising your own weaknesses.

• Be practical.
• Strong communication – storytelling and listening

• Strong self-belief, coupled with humanity and humility

• Clarity of vision and ability to share it with others

• Strong focus on priorities

• Regular use of reflective periods to think and learn

• Confidence and trust in their teams, giving them real empowerment

• Clear standards of ethics and integrity; openness and honesty

• Lateral thinking and ability to find innovative ideas and solutions to problems

What he does…

• Leaders need communicate their goals.

• Have a clear vision for the future without making promises that
they may not be able to keep. Be real.

• Be forward-looking. Have a plan.

• Communicate better and if possible at an emotional level.

• Strengths lie in the ability to excite others through vision, rather

than coaching talents.

• ‘Beginner’s mind’.
…..

worth over $5.4 Billion.

best I have ever met.“
