Leadership Styles
The styles and theories of leadership that managers adopt have direct influences on the performance of the people in an organization for whom the manager is responsible, and in most cases the products designed by the companies. The primary goal of Steve Jobs – (1955 – 2011) the former CEO of Apple Inc. in California – was to design and create innovative electronic devices in a way that they would simply fulfil the consumers’ needs, while in their simplest forms and shapes. The leadership styles that Jobs adopted thoroughly affected the quality of products, the employees’ motivation and the sustainability of the organization. According to a study, Jobs’s strategies for leadership were not satisfying only one profile, but a mixture of different profile of leadership styles.
