There is a great and interesting documentary title Steve Jobs
Brainstorms with NeXT Team. This documentary takes a closer look at the
interaction of Steve Jobs and his team after leaving Apple Computer in 1985. Steve Jobs decided to start over and founded
another computer company named NeXT. Jobs had a handful of his most trusted
employees, and sought to build a computer that can compete in higher education
markets. However, the company immediately faced serious problems, including
financing that impacted the resulting computer design, sales, and ultimately
the direction of the company (Nicholson, 1993). I was able to learn and take an
inside look at Steve Jobs company culture and how he lead a start-up company.
Leadership is constant process of improvement and learning from the mistakes.
I
was fortunate enough to complete The Management Assessment Profile from
NextSteps research. This assessment describes the candidate when situated in a large dynamic venture business environment.
According to NextSteps research the attributes most important to success in
this environment are: Achievement,
Innovation, Independence, Financial Metric Usage, Need for Recognition,
Multi-Tasking, Tolerance For, And Ability To Assess Risk. I was categorized as Confident,
Extroverted Logistical Leader. This indicates that logistical leaders exhibit a
team-oriented leadership approach.
In summary,
Steve Jobs was one of the leaders in the technology sector. Steve Jobs was well intentioned but had a
faulty leadership structure and created an environment that cause stress and
confusion within NeXT. Ultimately, he was able to overcome the failure and
become wiser.
