Introduction  \nMany great leaders have led companies to growth and prosperity in various ways with different styles. In the technology sector, Steve Jobs is one of the most celebrated leaders. Steven Levy stated that Steve Jobs was the most passionate leader one could hope for, a motivating force without parallel (Markoff, 2011) . His leadership, defined by his personality and traits, could be observed and evaluated from the perspective of several models and theories. Table A1, in Appendix A, lists several assessment tools that define Steve Jobs’s leadership.  \nJobs’s leadership characteristics are especially evident, as he came back to Apple in 1996, when the company was in dire straits. He said that if Apple did not get the attention it needed, it could eventually die (Kahney, 2008, p 1) . Currently, because of the leadership of Jobs, Apple is one of the leaders of innovations in the technology sector and one of the most esteemed brands (Myatt, 2013) . Jobs has played an active role that has shaped Apple into the technology giant that it is today.  \n2. Background  \nWhen studying a leader it is important to look into his or her upbringing, as this may greatly influence future decisions, personality, and traits. Steve Jobs was born in San Francisco, in 1955, to undergraduate parents, whom were unable to care for him and, consequently, put him up for adoption (Kahney, 2008, p 5) . The Jobs family adopted and raised him in Mountain View, California, where Steve Jobs initially fell in love with assembling electronics, particularly TVs (Kahney, 2008, p 5) . Jobs attended Reed College but, quickly becoming bored, dropped out and continued to unofficially take a few courses that had interested him, such as calligraphy (Kahney, 2008, p 6). Not long afterwards, Jobs acquired a job at Atari and, when obtaining enough money, set off on a trip to India in search of enlightenment (Kahney, 2008, p 6) . Upon returning to California, Jobs met Steve Wozniak and together created Apple at Jobs’s parents’ house (Kahney, 2008, p 6) . Apple immediately took off and, within a few short years, Jobs was a multimillionaire. Not long after, in 1985, Jobs left Apple secondary to a power struggle with then CEO John Sculley (Kahney, 2008, p 7). Jobs subsequently founded NeXT, a software company, and acquired Pixar, which became widely successful (Kahney, 2008, p 8) . And, after 11 years away from Apple, he returned as interim CEO, in 1996 (Kahney, 2008, p 8) .  \nJobs acquired a foothold back at Apple because it was in financial trouble, on the brink of bankruptcy. Then CEO, Gil Amelio, was looking for a new operating system to try and revamp Apple. This was a shining opportunity for Jobs to pitch his NeXT company. After speaking with Jobs, Amelio thought that this would be a step in the right direction for Apple, and acquired the company for $427 million, reintroducing himself back at Apple (Kahney, 2008, p 19). Right before Jobs arrived, Apple was six months away from bankruptcy, and the turnaround that Jobs was able to achieve, while at Apple, is known as one of the greatest comebacks in business history (Kahney, 2008, p 8) .  \n3. Leadership Assessment  \n3.1 Myers-Briggs Type Indicator  \nThere are many ways to study a leader, including various models, theories, tests, and principles that can be applied when trying to understand leadership. One of these tests, Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), measureshow individuals differ in gathering and evaluating information for solving problems and making decisions (Daft, 2001, p 119) . When assessed by the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), Steve Jobs would most likely be an ENTJ type, which is a person known to possess qualities such as vision, planning, taking charge, speaking heartily, and having qualities ofa natural leader (Daft, 2011, p 124).  \nVision is","cbCaiposBCQH9bH5","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiposBCQH9bH5","pdf",52064,"English","# Introduction\n# Background\n# Leadership Assessment\n## Myers-Briggs Type Indicator","[{\"question\":\"How does the document evaluate Steve Jobs’s leadership?\",\"answer\":\"It states that Jobs’s leadership traits can be observed and evaluated through models and theories, with assessment tools listed in an appendix.
