This has some real links to the leadership section in Unit 4, but it's also just interesting to see the effects of one person's leadership:

Steve Jobs helped to create Apple. Since he rejoined the company in the late 90s he's been responsible for making them one of the most successful brands in the world. Now he's sick, and there's talk of him going on sabbatical. These aritcles explain the effect that may have on the company.
Isn't it incredible that one person can have such an impact on a company? It goes to show that leadership is worth something- just ask any apple shareholder who loses share value if Mr. Jobs steps down!
Thanks to Tom Donovan-Brady for finding the aritcles.
