While, as most of you know, I have never been the biggest fan of the iOS (on iPhones and iPads) what you may not know is that I have always admired his tenacity and belief in his company and product. There is a very good reason Simon Sinek [TEDtalk | Start With Why ] spoke about Apple in his Golden Circles talk – Steve was a believer in pushing the boundaries of IT use and his desire for IT to not only be useful, but easy to use and good looking, has quite obviously come through in their products.
There are many, many lessons we can learn about innovation in education from the way he has lead innovation in the IT industry.
I aspire to have the same belief in and dedication to my products, young, Christian leaders who will influence their community for God and good, so that they may achieve their potential. Anyone who has seen Steve talk, either via vodcast or in real life, will know that he has always meant what he said.
Steve, you’ve done a great job and you will be missed.
