Positive Leadership: The Leadership Philosophy of Steve Jobs and Apple


Simpler is always better: Jobs’ advice: “One product, one box”.

Blunt communication works: Bluntness leaves no room for confusion, distraction or complexity.

Good leaders can compartmentalise: Jobs compartmentalised criticism so he could move towards his goals.

Small groups work better: Restrict meetings to people who would be discussing the topic at hand.

Keep things minimal and move quickly: Apple campaigns are put out within a month.

Simple names are superior: Apple does not hire naming experts; it relies on a small internal team and a group of advertising consultants.

Simplicity is human: Not a five-gigabyte drive on an iPod, but a “thousand songs in your pocket”.

Simplicity even works in retail: Focus on quality, uncluttered and inviting design and fantastic customer service.
