Steve Jobs’ Business Courage
It was a sad day this month when we lost Apple co-founder Steve Jobs. But what extraordinary ideas he left us. One was his unique brand of business courage. In a recent Fortune blog, Geoff Colvin said that Jobs’ approach to business is especially important now, when economic chaos has paralyzed many leaders. Courageous leaders, in contrast, embody these strategies:
- Committing significant money – making value-added investments
- Rethinking layoffs – reaping the long-term benefits of keeping employees through tough times
- Going big – being bold and strategic, not timid
Geoff says, “Taking risks now is frightening. But as Jobs, Buffett, and other business champions keep showing us, it’s your only hope.”
