HOW I CHOSE THE TOPIC: I thought of all the great leaders in history that have left a lasting legacy. I evaluated all of the options, and picked out the ones that interested me. After that, I realized that only one of my choices really fascinated me which was Steve Jobs. His sheer genius, his leadership style, the circumstances of his meteoric rise, fall and subsequent recovery, his tremendous impact on the world which spread far beyond personal computing made for project worthy of historical research.
HOW I CONDUCTED THE RESEARCH: I conducted the research using books, websites, articles, interviews [none that I made], speeches, databases, and other reference sources. I considered both negative and positive reviews about Steve Jobs to analyze and develop a balanced view.
HOW I CREATED THE PROJECT AND CATEGORY: I chose to do a website, because I have great interest in making projects on computers. I enjoy websites, because the viewer has the ability to touch and explore, providing more interaction. In the other categories, one is just watching, listening, or reading. I created my website using nhd.weebly.com.
HOW IT RELATES TO THE NHD THEME: Steve Jobs was an effective leader and left a lasting legacy in the computer technology field. He was also a visionary and ahead of his time in thought. After being fired from Apple in 1985, he developed excellent leadership qualities. He gained a unique ability to understand the needs of people, and develop the type of products that will satisfy that need, hence creating ideas that people wanted, before the products even existed. He was a rough and harsh boss, but that is what made him so successful. He was assertive, but valued consensus. He led Apple like a start-up company, and made it incredibly collaborative. He brought out all the good ideas that other people had, and then he shaped them up and made the ideas even better. Some people may not like Apple products, but if they use modern computers, they are using something that Apple introduced. Apple popularized GUI (Graphical User Interface), a computer program that allows the use of a computer with pointing devices, symbols, and visual metaphors. All computers use the GUI. Steve Jobs left a lasting legacy and a different style of thinking when creating products. His products are being used all around the world. His products are being used for communication, entertainment, eCommerce, and many other things.
