- 13. Lets answer the questions from the past case study. 04
- 14. Why do you think so much attention has been placed on Steve Jobs as an individual over Apple as a collective? Do you agree/disagree with these attribution of single-handedly “saving” Apple, or personally “dinging” up the universe? First Question
- 15. First of all, without Steve Jobs, Apple wouldn’t exists. Steve Jobs is one of the transformational leader who touches the lives of individuals and motivates them to surpass their limits. Additionally, Steve Jobs himself considered as charismatic and influential leader on individuals. His study of being a dreamer to being a winner is much more relatable. We beg to disagree, although Steve Jobs has been proven as strong and charismatic leader. It is very impossible to save big company on just one person especially Apple as an international company. We are pretty sure that there are lot of people behind that saving which is not as influential as Steve Jobs. It is a collective effort of him and of the people he influences that dings the universe and give everlasting impression. ANSWER
