Situational Leadership
In addition to the trait leadership style, Steve Jobs adopted a different set of tactics and strategies known as the situational leadership. In the early time before leaving the Apple Company, Steve Jobs used to lead the organization through a laissez-faire style. It was mainly believed that the successful creation of electronic products in this organization were basically due to the environment brought by this leadership style which directly encouraged and motivated the employees.
Nevertheless, there were also barriers to Jobs’s goals through this theory as it was connected with the reason for low productivity. After rejoining the Apple in 1995, Steve Jobs came up with a handful of different tactics in his management theories. Although he still pursued perfectionism in the production, he was highly demanding and that is reason the Apple employees regard him as an Authoritarian “autocratic” leader, and his leadership style was mainly focusing on the projects.
