John Nosta: THINKOLOGY The Intersection of Thought, Creativity and Inspiration

The Big Think: My CEO, Steve Jobs

Chief Executive Officer.  Cool Executive Original.  Crazy Eclectic Opinion.

The list can go on an on.  But for me, Steve Jobs is the man who changed the world...again and again.  From the early days of Apple to the ever evolving domination of the iPad, Steve is very much that icon we have come to admire and watch with interest and anticipation!

Remember the 1984 TV spot?  Remember the Mac interface?  Remember actually picking a typeface on your computer screen?  Oh, and how about Pixar?

An iconoclast for sure, Steve is, for many, the un-CEO who drove innovation and creativity to places that will forever be linked to him.  Yet it's Apple's market value that reflect that genius in the rigors of finance that have burnish into financial achievement that rivals any industry at any time.  Make art, create and innovate, listen to your instincts (and your customer), embrace aesthetics and the dollars will follow.

So, Steve is stepping down as CEO.  But is he really?

Apple = Steve Jobs.  And there's a feeling that wanders the halls of Cupertino that transcend time and space.  And that somehow, when you get a job at Apple, you really get a Job.

Steve Jobs is my CEO. The Creative Excellence is Obvious!

I wish him well as the future he created unfolds and flourishes around us...
