Steve Jobs didn’t
I HATED this list.  A few rebuttals to point out why...<p>Steve Jobs did not create products he created an organization.  No. He was partially responsible for the creation.  He sat in on design meetings and offered input and feedback.  Plus he vetoed bad idea (just as important)<p>Steve Jobs did not wrest market share from competitors he created new markets: Tell that to Creative Labs and Microsoft.  Creative labs had an MP3 player and Microsoft had tablets before apple came along.  Apple just did things better.<p>Steve Jobs did not design anything he gave others freedom to think: Not really.  He certainly encouraged people to think for themselves but anyone whose studied Jobs will tell you he stuck to his own vision.  Your only way to design a product at Apple under Jobs was to make your case to him and change his vision.<p>Steve Jobs did not develop new management theories he showed by example: Well how do you think management theory is born?  Good management theory comes from people who practiced what they preached.<p>Steve Jobs was not a futurist he built the future one piece at a time: WHAT?!?  You don't build the future one piece at a time unless you have a vision of what it will be like as a whole.<p>Steve Jobs was not charismatic he spoke from the heart: WHAT?!?  What do you think "being Charismatic" means?<p>Steve Jobs was not a gifted orator he spoke plainly: A gifted orator is someone who is engaging to watch speak.  Jobs was engaging.
