The news of Steve Jobs illness wiped$20 billion off Apples share price.

Some things are self evident: thatanyone with a heart would wish theman well. And that its almost

impossible to think of anotherindividual who has been such aprominent charm for a brand. Alsoclear is that his gifts as strategist,product and design driver make himmuch more than a figurehead

Steve Jobs was raised as a primeexample of this. The personal computer

by Apple, the Macintosh, which uses amouse and a simple graphic userinterface (GUI) was actually a conceptJobs borrowed from Xeroxs innovation

centre in Silicon Valley. The Macintosh was a success but Jobs

was hated in Silicon Valley, a placewhich prides innovation above all else.

The act of appropriating his idea fromXerox meant Jobs risked his reputationfor a product that worked.

Jobs' negotiation strategies are verywell reflected in his general persona.'Tactics' per se will not land anyone in

his shoes. He has an unwaveringconfidence in everything he's doing,and his track record very much

speaks for him. He makes thingshappen and, definitely in business,nobody can argue with results. At thesame time he carries himself with an

air dignity and humbleness in thepublic eye, which is a manner of'social aesthetics'. He knows how toappeal to his audience.

times to a mistake.

Dont Chase The Money: Despite being one of the wealthiest men on the

planet Steve Jobs did not do anything for themoney. He came from middle class, lived homelessas a college drop out and never looked to maximizehis profits at Apple or Pixar. In spite of this, hebecame a billionaire. In 2010 his salary was 1$

according to the IRS.

Leave A Legacy Growing up admiring companies like

Hewlett-Packard that left behind astrong company identity and legacy,

inspired Jobs to do the same thing atApple. He wanted to create abusiness that would carry on hisdrive for perfection and passion forcustomer-friendly products long afterhe was gone
