We asked our consultants to choose from the list below a person who they consider to be the most gifted corporate change agent of all time. We had a clear winner: Steve Jobs. As our internal poll took place before Jobs passed away, we also wanted to pay him homage. “Steve Jobs’ philosophy was to make products that were at the intersection of art and technology, intuitiveness and design. His openness to being inspired allowed him to live his philosophy, and in turn inspire others. Then, and throughout his life, his curiosity and intuition led him to “stumble upon” many sources of inspiration that would have a profound influence on his later creations. He created the ultimate customer connection that others can only hope to come close to achieving.” - Steve Jobs Tony Zeiss Mark Zuckerberg Jeff Immelt Bill Gates Arianna Huffington Indra Nooyi Richard Branson Beth Comstock Sir Terry Leahy Amancio Ortega Gaona Bernard Arnault Stelios Haji-Ioannou Daniel Ek Larry Page Lou Gerstner For more of Scott’s thinking of Job’s legacy, click here Agree or disagree?
