Steve Jobs: Redefining The CEO

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the more-like-ring-master dept.

conq writes "BusinessWeek has a nice piece on how Steve Jobs is redefining the job of being a CEO. From the story: 'Just over a decade ago, Steve Jobs was considered washed-up, a has-been whose singular achievement was co-founding Apple Computer back in the 1970s. Now, given the astounding success of Apple and Pixar, he's setting a new bar for how to manage a Digital Age corporation.'"

    The same could be said about the financial community. Many of the tech, research and trader workstations at some of the large banks went NeXT. (I'm not talking brick and mortor bank branches here--think trading). Same goes for some of the smaller trading firms at the time. Many divisions of UBS went this way in the early 90s.
