USNews Cites Apple CEO Jobs as Top American Leader
October 25, 2005
US News cites Apple CEO Steve Jobs as one of America's 25 Best Leaders.
The brief profile highlights some of the reasons that Jobs and Apple remain some of the most interesting leaders in the tech industry.
Jobs's passionate perfectionism, a contradictory blend of hot temper and cool temperament, is embedded in the soul of many new machines--iMacs, iBooks, iPods--and he has almost single-handedly altered the way we compute, play music, and view video. Says Victor Vroom, the John G. Searle professor of organization and management at the Yale School of Management: "[Jobs] is the supreme example of the transformational leader who stands for higher order values . . . he has caused people to do things they might never have done before."
