5 Lessons To Learn From Steve Jobs' Mistakes
5 Lessons To Learn From Steve Jobs' Mistakes
Mistake #1
Lesson
Arrogance is a dirty game at its best. Combined with pride, they are a business, reputation,
and relationship killer. Don’t be a jerk, because being a jerk and feeling high don’t make a
good businessperson or a good leader.
Mistake #2
Lesson
You should spend time with your members of staff, and make sure you help them understand
the goals of your company. Unlike Steve, don’t fire people outright for faults that are
definitely your own. The more speak your goals and make your company understood, the
more your business will grow.
Mistake #3
Lesson
Making decisions from off of the top of your head is difficult. Even the gifted visionary
struggles with it sometimes. It is, therefore, important to invest in your employees so that
they can become the next successful tier of tomorrow’s business leaders.
Mistake #4
Lesson
If you can’t pay more attention to your employees, then why go ahead and hire them, in the
first place? If you haven’t been listening to your employees, this is probably the best time to
change your approach. They must be part of the decision making process of your company.
Mistake #5
Lesson
Eventually, people do get tired of not being included in the development process. If you want
to become a successful business, then inclusion must be in your list of business strategies.
