Steve Paul - Apple Inc.

Entrepreneurial Trait  - Outcome Oriented


Steven Paul Jobs was born at San Francisco, California on February 24, 1955 and passed away on October 5, 2011. He was a well-known American entrepreneur. Not that all, he was widely recognized as the chairman, co-founder and chief executive officer (CEO) of Apple Inc. Besides, Steve Jobs was famous as a pioneer of the microcomputer transformation of the 1970s and his co-founder, Steve Wozniak was along with him.


Another important entrepreneurial trait that serves an essential character of an entrepreneur is outcome oriented.  Based on the justification stated out in Oxford Dictionary, outcome oriented mean that a person is pay more attention toward the result of an action than the process to get there. In NLP, the notion of outcome oriented is a situation show what a person or organization intends to accomplish or attain. To elaborate this statement, outcome oriented refers to the aspirated state or objective that a person or organization strives to bring about. In a nutshell, outcome oriented is the feedback to the question, “What do you want”? To make a conclusion about the definition of outcome oriented is the elementary goal of an individual or organization to meet intentions and realize positive growth.



Steve Jobs was an outcome oriented entrepreneur which can see through his management style. According to his previous interview and also the views of his employees, Jobs was a hot tempered and harsh person. So, these made his employees so scared of him and always prevent getting into a same space with Jobs especially in the elevator. Nonetheless, the reason of Jobs acted this way was the best way to extract the best in employees and make them to do the best work they could. And in fact, most of the employees under Jobs were agreed that they can produce more qualities achievement under his pressure. For an example, the Mac team members in the early 1980s all of them were admitted without the strong will of Jobs, Mac probably would not exist. Another case to elaborate the outcome oriented trait of Jobs is by the statement made by an Apple employee named Mike Evangelist. Based on his statement, he said that Jobs had forced him to work harder during their first time dinning and he strongly agreed to the pressure that given by Jobs, so that he can do his work much better than otherwise. To sum up, Jobs used his strict action toward his employee to ensure they can provide the best result to his company.
