A leader who I admire


I admire Steve Jobs not only for his great achievement on today’s technology but also for his innovative and unique idea as a leader. Sure competent and determined play an important part forming a good leader. But a leader must be inspiring and imaginative as well. He/She must always pay attention to what is going on now, but also look to the future. Jobs is truly a innovator who always think out of the box.

Another key to make Job successful is that he loves what he is doing and believes in himself. “Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did.” (by Steve Jobs) Even when he hires somebody, his question to those people is “Are they going to fall in love with Apple? Because if they fall in love with Apple, everything else will take care of itself.” They’ll want to do what’s best for Apple, not what’s best for them, what’s best for Steve, or anybody else. In a team, it’s important that everyone unites in one mind. Being loyal is also a characteristic that a good leader should has.
