Steve Jobs speaks with Fortune Magazine

by Adam Fisher-Cox on Mar 7, 2008 at 11:37 AM

Steve Jobs
In a very interesting article, Apple CEO Steve Jobs spoke with Fortune magazine on a variety of topics. The topics, presented in a slideshow format, include the iPhone, Apple’s connection with the consumer, Apple’s strategy, what drives Apple employees, Apple’s future without him, Apple’s focus, his management style, the benefits of owing their own operating system, the iPod “tipping point,” launching the Apple Store, failing with the Apple TV, and managing through the stock market’s downturn.

The article offers one of the best looks into Steve Jobs’ mind in a while; composed almost entirely of direct quotes from him. The most interesting segments I found were “On whether Apple could live without him,” and “On his management style.” He speaks very honestly about his management style, often described as extremely meticulous and almost dictatorial. He also has seemingly different ideas about how Apple would do without him than most of the Mac community.

I highly recommend this article to anyone who is interested in Apple in any capacity (which you probably are if you’re reading this!)
