Jobs' Management

    I read an article about an interview with Walter Isaacson, author of the Steve Job's biography. Isaacson described Jobs as focused, interesting, inspiring, and strong-willed. Jobs did not create any new technology; he merely set a new standard. When creating the iPod, Isaacson said "he (Jobs) insisted that you be able to get whatever you wanted with only three clicks. The engineers kept saying 'we can't do it,' and he would find ways to show them how it could be done" (O' Rourke, 2012). Apple's success from Jobs' management style that pushed the company to aspire to create possible and unthought of products. But with the death of Jobs, will the company be able to fill the void he has left and continue to perform well?
