Is Steve Jobs Brilliant and Creative? I think not!

Posted: 22 Jul 2009 05:37 PM PDT
http://igifter.blogspot.com/2009/07/today-somebody-sent-email-about-h...

Today somebody sent an email about how Steve Jobs is creative and  
brilliant. This reminded me of my friend overhearing a conversation from an  
old lady about how Bill Gates created Internet.

If we really think about Jobs, what do we really know about him? Here was  
my response to email, you make your own opinion:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

I differ in opinion. I do not know if he is brilliant or creative. We  give  
all credit of iPhone to Jobs but do we know who came up with the  idea or  
business model? I can almost bet that most big companies it is  not the CEO  
who comes up with best ideas.

Also, the multi billion dollar creative idea called "iPhone" has been  "out  
in the open" for 3+ years now, how come nobody can compete even  now? If he  
was so brilliant, how come he failed at Next? How come Mac is  not as  
popular as PC? Calling him creative and brilliant does not  explain his  
failures. So the question is what is he good at and what he  is not good at?

Jobs skills are not creativity or brilliance. He has only one skill, he
can create amazingly efficient teams. Starting from 1 person team (Steve  
W.) to currently massive company called Apple. These teams execute at  
speeds that other companies cannot. If you read about what he did in  
Pixar, you can see hints of his strategy. He failed at Next because  
despite his superb team which resulted in an amazing product, his  business  
vision failed, same story with Mac. He even admitted it during  iPhone's  
early days that Apple has made some mistakes with Mac that they  will not  
make with iPhone.

Team is No 1 factor in success or failure of a company... or so I believe
