Steve Jobs was one of those rare souls who will likely be as influential in death as he was in life, because he was a living legend who also left behind an enduring legacy. As Jobs' successor at Apple, Tim Cook, explained "Steve built a company and culture that is unlike any other in the world and we are going to stay true to that ? it is in our DNA."

Raised on Cultural and Technological Innovation

That Steve Jobs DNA traces its hereditary roots to Santa Clara County, CA, an area now known as part of Silicon Valley ? thanks in large part to Jobs' creative inventions. He spent his childhood there, coming of age at the geographical and social epicenter of the 1960s San Francisco antiestablishment revolution. He was inspired by that historical movement to reexamine the conventional world around him ? and to ultimately redesign it with his signature blend of artistry, technology, and people-focused functionality.

Like his lifelong competitor Bill Gates, Jobs attended college for Yellow Packers Baseball Hats a while but soon dropped out to pursue other passions. He experimented, as did many others of his generation, with everything from spirituality and Yellow Packers Baseball Hats religion to psychedelia and counterculture. Jobs' favorite band was the Beatles, and following in the footsteps of the Fab Four he trekked to India to pursue his lifelong quest for philosophical answers and to try to satisfy an insatiable curiosity about life.

He was even inspired to name his company Apple, after the Beatles' Apple Corps, a decision that got him sued for brand copyright infringement by his musical heroes. But leaders know how to negotiate challenges and disagreements in ways that make everyone a winner. Jobs did that in legendary fashion, eventually settling the perennial dispute with Apple Corps by signing the music company to an Yellow Packers Baseball Hats exclusive digital distribution deal with Apple iTunes.

Leading from the Trenches

Jobs not only knew how to turn adversity into success, but also how to transform apparent failure into extraordinary achievement. When the first Apple retail store opened many people derided it as a failure waiting to happen, but within 10 years there were hundreds of wildly profitable Apple stores in prestigious locations.
