Steve Jobs’ departure from Apple has people talking about what makes a great business leader.
You’d have thought the pope or the president was stepping down. Such was the adulation laid on the outgoing leader - and such was the worry. Can he be replaced?
Jobs made such an impact at Apple not because he’s good at computers, but because he’s been able to transform a successful business several times through the force of personality, his vision and charisma.
But how do you teach those traits of leadership?
Today where we live, what makes an effective business leader? To some, the path is still to get an MBA, and arm yourself with the skills necessary to succeed in the business world.
Others look at a college dropout like Jobs and say...IS that the way?
Should there be a new model for business leadership? Join the conversation.
