A person out of the common: Steve Jobs

Post contributed by Aritz Fernández de las Heras

Steve Jobs (Debate, 2011)

As many of you will know, the person in the picture is Steve Jobs, who is the focus of a book I have read. Steven Paul Jobs was an American business magnate, industrial designer, investor and media proprietor. Apart from this, he was the CEO (chief executive officer) and co-founder of the worldwide known Apple Inc. He was born on the 24th of February of 1955 in San Francisco, California, USA and died on the 5th of October of 2011 in Palo Alto, California, USA. This biographical book was written by Walter Isaacson and was published on 24th of June of 2011, months after Steve’s death.

Throughout the book he talks about Steve’s life and his way to be one of the best CEOs ever. As a brief introduction to his personality, I will tell you that he had a very strong character. He had a very deep way of looking at you and his hand would not shake if he had to tell you what you had done wrong or if he had to kick you out of the company. Another feature of his personality is that he had a very unusual aspect for being a CEO or a person that used to work at the office. When he had to talk about something important with a person he used to go for a walk and talk about whatever they wanted.

I am a fanatic of Steve Jobs. I would have added many more things about him but I do not want  to spoil anything about the book. Besides this, I would like to tell you that if you are not keen on reading books, there is a film based on the book that looks great.

I hope you find this review helpful and you enjoy the book!
