conclusion

In conclusion, I believe that Steve Jobs was a great man. He understood what was wrong with products and had a perfectionist, uncompromising expectation of his employees and what they produced. He revolutionized the way we look at technology today.
I feel that Steve Jobs was an authoritarian figure who never slacked. He was one who understood his employees. Steve Jobs looked at his company in a mechanical way. If an employee did not work well, it was an unneeded or worse, faulty gear. Hence, this gear would be removed.
