A former employee of Apple: «Jobs was a goat!"

Steve Jobs was well known as a man who had not always been easy to work with. He was demanding and sometimes illogical. But despite this, people who worked with him always admired him and loved him. A complex character traits even been part of his charm.

But here again there are exceptions. For example, Erin Cardboard, former Apple employee who worked at the time of the service MobileMe. She recently wrote a post on his blog, which has criticized the leadership style of Steve Jobs. Let's see, how did the chief, according to the cardboard was former Apple CEO.

Between Erin and Jobs developed not the most pleasant attitude. Once, when the cardboard just started working at Apple, she collided with Jobs in the cafeteria when he passed the queue to buy the land. Erin was outraged by such an act. But that was only the beginning.

The biggest insult Cardboard related to the period when she was working on the service MobileMe. "We were sent to work on obviously bad product", - she recalls bitterly. Indeed, the MobileMe was released less than ideal service, and in 2011 he was replaced by iCloud.

After the release of MobileMe, Jobs read a critical review of Adam Lachine the new Apple service. He was furious. "You have tarnished Apple's reputation and should hate each other for it!" - he shouted Jobs to employees. Steve made it clear to all: work well or be fired.

This story demonstrates how demanding and tough visited Jobs when it came to work. He was ready to rant and rave and MobileMe failure blamed the development team.

But Erin Cardboard have an opinion on this matter. She writes: "It was his [Jobs] fault that MobileMe has not turned out a good product, not ours. We told our boss that you need to move the launch date. But they did not listen to us ", - says Carton. "After the launch of MobileMe, we all night correcting mistakes, and then held a working meeting with the participation of Steve Jobs."

"He stood in front of us and shouted at us, saying that we should be angry at each other for the failed launch of MobileMe and accused us that we have not kept the authorities stated. It was the best demotivatsionnaya it in the world "- Erin says in his post.

In her view, the disastrous launch of MobileMe was due to the fact that the leadership does not listen to the team, which warned of a possible failure. "The best thing you can do this for your product allow the team to say the whole truth guidance, which should listen to their subordinates," - concludes cardboard.

Needless to say, Jobs was a complex man, and not the soft head. But thanks to its stiffness Apple managed to create superior products in the shortest possible time. Apple is one of the secrets of success. What do you think? It was justified Steve stiffness in relation to subordinates? What in general should be the head of this company? We look forward to your responses in the comments.
