Apple shares lost value after CEO Steve Jobs announced his third medical leave this past weekend. It left many wondering what will happen when the creative and innovative CEO actually leaves the company for good.
There are many interesting entrepreneurs but Steve Jobs certainly has been an inspiration and marvel in his field, leading Apple to become an immensely successful company. As Philip Elmer-DeWitt posts on January 17, 2011 in his article "Thinking the unthinkable: Apple without Steve Jobs“, "Jobs brings something to Apple that's harder to measure […]. The electronic devices most companies release are compromises. Everybody gets to weigh in – marketing, production, sales, software, etc. – before anything hits the market. In that respect, Apple is nearly unique. Nothing gets out the door unless it meets Jobs' exacting standards.”
A Different Seed of CEO
The 56-year old Steven Paul Jobs is what one would consider an American tycoon and inventor. As the co-founder and CEO of Apple Inc, Jobs previously served as chief executive of Pixar Animation Studios. Following its acquisition by Disney he became a member of the board of The Walt Disney Company in 2006.
