Steve Jobs is as much an icon of the information age as the iMacs, iPods, iPads and
iPhones that Apple has been launching ever so frequently in recent years. He is also a
controversial entrepreneur. — Business magazine Fortune once said he is considered one
of Silicon Valley’s ‘leading egomaniacs’ — and both authorized and unauthorized
biographies of the Buddhist business magnate and inventor are aplenty.
Jay Elliot, author of The Steve Jobs Way: iLeadership for a new generation, is perhaps
one of the closest associates of the founder and CEO of one of the most outstandingcompanies in history to have written a book on him. Mr. Elliot, who worked with Mr. Jobs
as senior vice-president of Apple, leverages his ‘deep insider perspective’ of his boss’s
‘singular iLeadership style', encompassing four major principles: product, talent,
organization and marketing
The book is full of interesting anecdotes relating to Mr Jobs, his interactions with hiscolleagues, the big fights he had with some top executives, including John Sculley, the
former PepsiCo president, who replaced him as the CEO following a painful power
struggle in the mid- 1980s. But the ‘Sculley era’ saw the decline of Apple, leading one
international magazine to label Mr Sculley as “ the 14th worst American CEO of all time”.
Happy Reading

The Steve Jobs way- ILeadership for a new generation

The idea fell from a tree, literally.
Steve Jobs had returned from visiting a commune-like place in Oregon located in
an apple orchard. Apple co-founder and Jobs’ pal, Steve Wozniak, picked him upfrom the airport.
On the drive home, Jobs simply said, “I came up with a name for our company—
Apple.” Wozniak said they could have tried to come up with more technical
sounding names but their vision was to make computers approachable.
Apple fit perfectly

Innovation distinguishes between a Leader & a follower
It was called a “graphical user interface.” In that moment, Jobs knew that this
technology would allow him to fulfill his vision of putting a computer in the hands of
everyday people. Jobs later said that Xerox could have “dominated” the computer
industry but instead its ‘vision’ was limited to building another copier.Two people can see the same thing but perceive it differently based on their vision.

Passion for Product
Driving force for iPhone development
Steve Jobs is the World’s greatest consumer
He breathed his life into “ Macintosh” – as computer for rest
of us .
Stirred the iTunes store & the iPod into being out of his love
for music & desire to take the music everywhere with him.
Loved the convenience of the cell , but hated the heavy,
clumsy, ugly and hard to use phones in the market.
That dissatisfaction led to his giving himself & the rest of the
iPhone.

Passion for Product Steve Jobs survives, thrives and changes society by
following his own passions
I could be doing a lot of other things with my life
But Macintosh is going to change the world
I have chosen people for the team who believe it.
His passion goes through the entire organization –receptionist to engineers to the board of directors
Employees of any company do not feel
this passion as passed on from the
leaders , then the leaders needs to beasking “ Why not” ?

From drawing board to delivery As his own product czar, Steve wore a dazzling number of
hats in the Macintosh team.
Starting with product conceiver-in-chief.
From the drawing board to delivery, he inhabited the product,
living every detail of what it would experience as if it were a
living, breathing organism.
He knew he had to be surrounded by people as invested in
achieving excellence in the products as he himself was.
His passion is one of the great underlying secrets of Steve’s
success. He is exacting, demanding and, yes, at times,
inconsiderate. It’s all a reflection of the fiery passion that
drives him.

Success is in details Steve Jobs had his best engineers working on the top-secret
project to develop the iPhone
He had to wage a battle. Trying to create a cell phone
product was a monumental effort for a company with no
background in the field.
One of his big reasons for taking on this unlikely challenge
was that every cell phone he had ever seen was, in his view,
far too complicated to use
A perfect challenge for a man so dedicated to detail and to
its companion quality, simplicity.
Steve had decided early on that the cell phone being
developed at Apple would have only a single button.

Success is in details
His engineers kept telling him over and over in their once-or-twice-a-week review meetings that it was not possible for a
cell phone to have only one button.
You could not turn it on and off, control the volume, switch
between functions, go to the Internet and use all the otherfeatures the phone was to have, if you had only a single
control button.
Steve was deaf to their complaints. He kept demanding, in
effect, “The phone will have only one button. Figure it out.”
Though he has, through the years, been an incredible solver
of problems and originator of clever ideas on all the products
developed under him.

Success is in details Steve didn’t know how the phone could be designed so it
would need only one button. But as the ultimate consumer,
he knew that’s what he wanted. He kept sending the
engineers back with the demand that they figure out the
necessary solutions.
You know the end of the story: The original iPhone had onlyone control button

Success is in details
Creativity & innovation;More work, More detail-oriented planning
Learning from mistakes.
Details matter, it’s worth waiting to get it right,but there are times when you have to weigh
the benefit of getting it right the cost of being
late to market.

Holistic Product development Today, most products of any complexity —
as well as a lot of very simple ones —
include components or ingredients not
created on-site but purchased elsewhere,
from some other company.
It’s why the rim at the top of the can of Gillette shaving cream
always turns rusty: Gillette makes the shaving cream but
buys the cans from a supplier — a nameless manufacturing
company that doesn’t have to take any flak from Gillette
customers. And one wonders whether Gillette’s top managers aren’t
using their own product; if they were, wouldn’t they have
corrected the problem a long time ago?

Product Czar
Passion for the Idea, Product & Perfection
If you are not passionate from the start you will never stick it
out
Creativity, Innovation and more detail oriented planning
Details matter, it’s worth waiting to get it right. But there are times when you have to weigh the benefit of
getting it right & the cost of being late to market
Passion is everything. Innovation—which simply means—new ways of
doing things that improve our lives---cannot flourish unless you are truly
obsessed with making something better—be it a product, a service, a
method or a career.

How to do find your passion? Passions are those ideas that don’t
leave you alone. They are the hopes, dreams and possibilities
that consume your thoughts. Follow those passions despite
skeptics and naysayers who do not have the courage to follow
their dreams.

Seek people who are interested about the project Talent finds Talent
Jobs has followed his heart his entire career and that passion, he says, has
made all the difference. It’s very difficult to come up with new, creative ideas
that move society forward if you are not passionate about the subject.

When Jobs returned to Apple in 1997 after a 12-year absence, Apple faced an
uncertain future. Jobs closed his presentation that year at Macworld in Boston with an
observation that set the tone for Apple’s resurgence: “I think you have to think
differently to buy an Apple computer. A lot of times people think they’re crazy, but in
that craziness we see genius.”

He stayed another 18 months to “drop in” to those classes he enjoyed, like
calligraphy. Calligraphy didn’t have any obvious practical application in his life
but it would come back to Jobs when he created the Mac..

Creativity leads to innovative ideas. Jobs believes that a broad set of
experiences expands our understanding of the human experience. A broader
understanding leads to breakthroughs that others may have missed.
Breakthrough innovation requires creativity and creativity requires that you
think differently about…the way you think.

Steve Jobs creates new ideas precisely because he has spent a lifetime exploring new
and unrelated things—seeking out diverse experiences. Jobs hired people from outside
the computing profession, he studied the art of calligraphy in college, meditated in an
Indian ashram, and evaluated The Four Seasons hotel chain as he developed thecustomer service model for the Apple Stores. Look outside your industry for inspiration.

Steve Jobs is master craftsman’s.
Ability to create a consistent, positive product image in the
minds of his customers.
He combines stick-to-itiveness with an intuitive sense of
exactly what it takes to get the public enthralled with a
product.
He understands that this isn’t just a question of how well
the product is designed and how smoothly it works —
although these are critical factors — but of how it is
perceived by the user, which, of course, is the key toproduct success.

Your customers don’t care about your product, your company or your brand.
They care about themselves, their hopes, their dreams, their ambitions. Help
them fulfill their dreams and you will win them over.

Achieving the definition of cool
There is nothing more cool in the world of business than
creating a product that millions of people immediately want,
and many who don’t have are envious of those who do.
Nothing more cool than being a person who can imagine and
create a product like that.
Add one more element: creating a series of these way cool
products not as separate and isolated efforts but all parts of a
high-level overriding concept.

Steve Jobs doesn’t rely on focus groups. If he had, they may never have
enjoyed iPods, iTunes, the iPhone, the iPad, or Apple Stores. Jobs does not
need focus groups because he understands his customers really, really well.
Yes, sometimes better than they know themselves!

Customer Experience
Jobs has made the Apple Store the gold standard in customer service by
introducing simple innovations any business can adopt to create deeper,
more emotional connections with their customers. For example, there are no
cashiers in an Apple store. There are experts, consultants, even geniuses,
but no cashiers.

“ Many times in an [job] interview I will
purposely upset someone: I’ll criticize
their prior work. I’ll do my homework, find
out what they worked on, and say, ‘God,
that really turned out to be a bomb. That
really turned out to be a bozo product.Why did you work on that?’ ...”

“ The [innovation] system is that there is no
system. That’s doesn’t mean we don’t have
process. Apple is a very disciplinedcompany, and we have great processes. But
that’s not what it’s about. Process makes
you more efficient.”

“Innovation has nothing to do with how
many R&D dollars you have. When Apple
came up with the Mac, IBM was spending
at least 100 times more on R&D. It’s not
about money. It’s about the people you
have, how you’re led, and how much youget.”

Steve Jobs Best Quotes

Dream Bigger
Perhaps the ultimate lesson that Jobs teaches us is that innovation requires risk-taking
and risk taking takes courage and a bit of craziness. See genius in your craziness.
Believe in yourself and your vision and be prepared to constantly defend those beliefs.
Only then will innovation be allowed to flourish and only then will you be able to lead an
“insanely great” life.

You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect themlooking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow
connect in your future.
You have to trust in something; your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever.
This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference
in my l ife

“ People Sometime have goals in life.
Steve Jobs exceeded every goal he set
himself “– Steve Woznaik
"Steve and I first met nearly 30 years ago,and have been colleagues, competitors
and friends over the course of more than
half our lives. The world rarely sees
someone who has had the profound
impact Steve has had, the effects of which
will be felt for many generations to come.
For those of us lucky enough to get to work
with him, it's been an insanely great
honor." -Bill Gates
