CONTEMPORARY PERSPECTIVE ON LEADERSHIP3
Introduction
Leadership in general is a quality that is either instilled within a person or is
developed with great ardor and zeal. Any kind of assignment or task requires the leader to
deal with the duties and responsibilities of the groups in order to attain the goals previously
set by the team or the organization. The significance of a leader in every sector of the society,
be it a teacher, business person, political leader or such other types, is immensely pivotal for
the progress of the concerned groups (Probert and Turnbull James 2011). In this global age,
leadership has evolved in accordance with the choices and preferences of the common people
and the organizations. Contemporary leadership can be closely related to transformational
leadership. J.V. Downtown in Rebel Leadership Commitment and Charisma in a
Revolutionary Process first distinguished the term “Transformational Leadership” in 1973
(Diaz-Saenz 2011). A perspective on this contemporary leadership can be gained with the
analysis of a very contemporary leader. The purpose of this report hence is to analyze the
leadership style of Steve Jobs, the mastermind behind Apple.
Discussion
Leadership Styles
Steve Jobs, the unconventional leader, was not renowned for his consultative building
approach, but was known as the genius leader who demanded nothing less than excellence.
His thirst for challenging the limits of his employees and setting an impossible vision and
making his team achieve it, made him one of the ideal leaders of the contemporary world.
The American business magnate and an inspiration for the millennium, Steve Jobs not only
revolutionized the microcomputers but also gave rise to a contemporary perspective of
leadership that is appropriate for the ways in which the modern employees and organizations
function (Issacson 2012).
