Steve Jobs passed Wednesday October 5, 2011 and around the world people have written and spoken of the contributions that he has made to our world. If there ever was a person that demonstrated what drive, vision, creativity and above all passion can lead to… it definitely was Steve Jobs. We watched as he changed our world, and continued to do so, even as he was faced with his own mortality. President Obama released this statement regarding the passing of Steve Jobs. Bill Gates, Microsoft’s Co-founder and technology competitor to Steve Jobs wrote what an insane honour… and talks about their 30 year relationship. Across the world sentiments chime in from all types of people. Russian President Dmitry Medvedev stated “People like Steve Jobs change our world.”
As a creative person, I have professionally grown up with the MAC and by default, followed Steve Jobs and MAC ‘s innovation. Steve Jobs initially changed the landscape of my professional world… and in the last few years, I have watched him changed the landscape of our everyday lives. His legacy has changed the course of human communications and interactions. Few people leave behind such a profound mark on humanity so, in the true measure of a life, I say, well done Steve Jobs. Bravo!

I have reflected on the recent resignation of Steve Jobs and his legacy of what he taught the world. He has lead others by doing; not only in marketing, advertising, product development or the user experience, but in how a company can achieve greatness through people.
There is no need to reiterate the collection of apple products that are leading in each of their respective categories and I believe that has everything to do with the people responsible for the development of those products under driven and focused leadership. Steve Jobs understood that the character of each individual employee resonates on every project or task that they are involved with. Each person is essential to the advancement of the company so getting the right fit to hire is vital to a strong organization.
Company awareness is something that Steve Jobs has been noted for throughout his time at Apple. He believed that every person should understand the overall process of the business and that each employee, regardless of title or department, should educate others on how their part is a piece of the greater picture.
Involvement = Investment = Ownership
These are but a few of the lessons that can be gleaned from an inspiring individual who has earned his place in business history as one of the most influential leaders of our time.What have you learned from Steve Jobs over the years, or, what has impressed or annoyed you about his time at Apple?
