Steve Jobs' micro-management and Apple's flat structure

THE world is still shocked by the death of Apple's figure head Steve Jobs and its no surprise that there has a been a media storm around the enigmatic man's life and death.
This is a link to an article from The Guardian, which has statements from people that worked in all parts of the world's most famous company, and shows that Jobs' management style could make a huge corporation into a flat structure. It also features a video that further highlights this, and other eye opening facts.

  1. Nicely done with the first student post of the year!

    I agree that this is a really fascinating article and video. The first testimonial is a classic example of benefits of a flat structure (I think I'm going to be using this for some AS resources for this year) and the second testimonial you'll want to come back to later on when you start to focus on leadership styles in Unit 4. Well done in getting the ball rolling!
