Text of the page (random words):
ed an iphone instead of a gibson think about it we didn t just follow apple inc s products or its stock price we watched the ceo himself and we gossiped following his death on oct 5 2011 we saw countless tributes and memorials from web sites celebrities tech pundits and even the president of the united states why did we like to gossip about jobs it s enticing to study people who are full of good ideas even more so people who have built empires as we try to uncover exactly how they did it beyond that jobs was an interesting character he was a college dropout who won the national medal of technology who had a reputation as a difficult person and a demanding boss and who slammed competitors products and ran a cultish marketing show for his own advertisement one new york times columnist had an interesting sociological explanation for why we ve always taken a personal interest in jobs source carr jobs knew us so well from our early need for personal computers to the way our fingers like to dial songs on our ipods that we want to know him back jobs kept details about his life private and his company protected his privacy which enticed us even more our fascination fed a rumor mill that often got stuff wrong here are five popular myths that surround jobs contents the apple corporation paid jobs only 1 for running the company jobs car displayed a barcode instead of plates for the sake of safety and privacy jobs wore the same outfit every day a black mock turtleneck and jeans steve jobs swore to never return to japan steve jobs bullied employees for no reason 5 the apple corporation paid jobs only 1 for running the company was jobs salary at apple just 1 istockphoto com barcin from 1997 until he stepped down as ceo of apple in 2011 jobs made a yearly salary of only 1 source rogers in fact during several of those years jobs entire compensation was 1 as one quick witted cnet reader pointed out in response to ina fried s article apple again pays jobs 1 salary his earnings couldn t buy him a song plus tax on itunes source fried so right now you re wondering so why s this on the myth list well it s only part of the story instead of high salaries apple prefers to pay executives in performance awards and slow vesting stock this policy encourage executives to stay long term other companies have similar practices john mackey the ceo of whole foods market and eric schmidt now former ceo of google both made base salaries of 1 in 2008 sources nyt mackey nyt schmidt obviously jobs made a lot more than 1 each year for selling a record number of computers in 2000 apple thanked jobs with an 88 million private jet sources fisher elkind as of april 2011 he owned more than 5 6 million shares of apple stock source reuters by forbes s 2010 list jobs was the 136st richest person in the world worth 5 5 billion source forbes advertisement 4 jobs car displayed a barcode instead of plates for the sake of safety and privacy allegedly you couldn t find one of these gracing jobs car istockphoto com rpsycho a blogger once published a photo of jobs silver mercedes in the apple parking lot the car had no rear license plate and there was a barcode sticker inside the frame source iphone savior one theory was that police could scan jobs car as he sped by we don t think so the barcode is a serial number on all mercedes like jobs but where were jobs license plates according to fortune magazine he left the plates off to avoid parking tickets source schlender jobs reportedly broke other auto related rules too do a google search on steve jobs and handicapped space and you ll find a host of articles that mention the tech guru s parking peccadillo at apple he was known to park his car in a handicapped space near the building s entrance sources elkind kahney regarding the missing plates jobs once said that it was a sort of game to him sources elkind and schlender with whom police people who would like to follow his car license plate thieves people who d like the space he just took who won advertisement 3 jobs wore the same outfit every day a black mock turtleneck and jeans jobs pictured here with his wife and disney pixar s ed catmull and catmull s daughter at the 79th annual academy awards traded his mock neck and jeans combo for a stylish tuxedo at the kodak theatre on feb 25 2007 in hollywood calif frank micelotta getty images adrian monk was a tv detective whose obsessive compulsive disorder carried over to his choice of clothes source nbc for him it was always brown over plaid but that was the work of his costume designers the very real steve jobs who we re pretty sure wasn t following a scripted wardrobe almost always wore a black mock turtleneck and jeans at least in public and at least since 1992 source potts why jobs never said like everyone else we can speculate the outfit looked comfortable we all loosen our ties and pry off our heels when we want to do our best work or jobs may have done it to save time since he was undoubtedly busy advertisement although he wore the outfit while at next computer jobs could ve made it his uniform for apple source potts it made jobs and his products easy to identify jeffery o brien a former senior editor at wired magazine suggested that the simple straightforward outfit could send the message that jobs uses his creativity elsewhere source jackson or jobs like his products may merely have favored a simple interface in the category of har har har comes one reader s response to steven heller s fabricated fashion icon article daniel kostka suggests that jobs turtleneck was wired for internet access as part a new line of inecks source heller kostka in a yin yang kind of theory one satirist suggested the outfit countered our misery in choosing among the thousands of songs on our ipods source shine perhaps the turtleneck reflected jobs attitude toward buttons first he removed them from his shirt and then his company came out with the ipod and iphone but the fact is jobs didn t wear the outfit inflexibly he changed when it was appropriate he wore a suit to the 2001 macworld expo in tokyo and wore tuxedos to the academy awards source jackson he occasionally wore a white t shirt and black vest to work and it s rumored that he owned a white turtleneck sources jackson dukcevich 2 steve jobs swore to never return to japan it s a great story in 2010 steve jobs vacationed in kyoto japan at the conclusion of his trip he headed to the airport to hop on his private jet and return home but while going through airport security airport personnel informed him that he wouldn t be allowed on his own plane why would they say this because steve jobs had purchased some ninja throwing stars while on vacation and he had them on his person any self respecting ninja would do the same the story continues steve jobs incensed that the airport security team wouldn t let him bring his souvenirs aboard his own private plane declared that he will never visit japan again the story has all the earmarks of a great myth you have the iconoclastic ceo who already dressed like a casual friday ninja used to getting his own way you have security personnel following the letter of the law in their procedures you have the infamous jobs temper invoked sadly the story appears to be false advertisement an apple official contacted john paczkowski of all things d to clear up the matter according to the representative jobs did visit japan but that s where the similarities between the story told above and reality part ways the representative said that jobs enjoyed his visit and that he had hoped to return to japan soon source paczkowski there s no word if the official then disappeared in a puff of smoke 1 steve jobs bullied employees for no reason apple senior vice president of industrial design jonathan ive seen here at the 2007 national design awards gala is one of the many employees who helped apple succeed under steve jobs leadership duffy marie arnoult wireimage getty images the mythological version of steve jobs takes many forms there s the brash hacker who impishly used technology to make long distance phone calls for free there s the master salesman with the reality distortion field who could convince you to invent reasons you needed a new product and then there s the taskmaster the unyielding boss driven and ruthless to competitors and employees alike the truth is more complex steve jobs was a perfectionist and could focus on the smallest detail to an engineer the detail might seem insignificant but to jobs if that detail didn t meet his approval it was a showstopper he wasn t shy about expressing his opinion and could even end a project meeting early if something struck him as being wrong advertisement jobs would heap praise on employees who got results but the same employee who might be applauded one day could get chewed out the next day apple employees who worked with jobs have said that they did some of their best work for him but that the experience was grueling source deutschman jobs could be abrasive sometimes he used an aggressive approach to test employees those who could defend their work or point of view he would listen to those who couldn t he would dismiss sometimes literally he may even have used sharp criticism to encourage employees to work harder knowing that he was feeding on their own insecurities it got results but it probably wasn t the most pleasant work environment jobs approach might go against every manual on leadership that s in print but in the end apple produced some of the most successful electronics for the consumer market ever to hit store shelves and despite his reputation for being harsh and demanding jobs earned the devotion and admiration of many of his employees like other visionaries before him the reality of steve jobs might just be larger than the myth for more about steve jobs apple and related topics take a look at the next page lots more
