    Steve Jobs founded Apple as a computer company in 1976 and ran it alongside founders Steve Wozniak, Ronald Wayne and investor Mike Markkula. He was a strong minded visionary and often went against other workers ideas. Many rifts were created within apple because of the disagreements he had with other people about the way projects were being run within the company. Eventually, in 1985 Jobs left Apple after being removed as manager of the Mac project, something he had put together and built up. He acquired Lucasfilm’s animation department Pixar and funded this whilst working on his ‘NeXT’ computer project. He worked at NeXT for a number of years until, in 1995 Apple were convinced by Jobs to buy out his computer company. He then returned to Apple in an informal advisory role at a time when Apple was making the biggest losses since it was founded. In early 1997 after 500 days in the job and over $1 billion in losses the, then CEO was sacked. Jobs agreed to become interim CEO and to take on the responsibility of getting the company back onto the right path. His first move was to dramatically cut the number of products being produced by Apple and focused on a simple matrix structure. He made a laptop for consumer users and a laptop for professional users and the same for desktop computers. This distinctly different structure cut costs and made Apple seem a lot more customer friendly as a company. The next step was looking towards preparing their products for the future, through…

    Speech Steve Jobs Example

    • 701 Words
    • 3 Pages

    In Steve Jobs’ Stanford University Commencement speech in 2005, he started off his speech with an attention getter, telling the student audience that he never graduated from college, and this was the closest thing to a graduation he had ever experienced. This was obviously effective by the applause and laughter in the crowd. Steve Jobs told three inspirational stories to the graduating audience which added to the overall farewell message to the graduates. He cited credible sources when necessary, and made frequent eye contact with the audience. On the other hand, he did spend a large amount of time reading from his notes. It seemed a few times, that he forgot where he was in his speech and he back tracked a sentence, repeating himself. I don’t think that Steve Jobs spent much time rehearsing the speech he wrote for this commencement ceremony. Steve Jobs used a very appropriate rate of delivery when speaking, and was heard loud and clear. He varied his voice minimally, but did not use any vocal fillers such as, “um,” or “uh.” His appearance definitely reflected the attitude of the speech, as he was dressed in a cap and gown identical to the ones the graduates wore. He seemed fairly confident and was neat in appearance, besides his face not being cleanly shaved. Steve Jobs stood up straight while delivering his speech, but obviously shifted his weight from leg to leg occasionally. I think that by the end of his speech, he had connected with the audience well, and the audience had a better understanding of who Steve Jobs was. He finished his speech by explaining how he came across a lifelong inspirational quote for him. The quote was, “stay hungry stay foolish,” and he told the audience that as they embark on their new lives and journeys, to “stay hungry stay foolish,” but he did not explain what the…
