In soccer (or football outside the U.S.), the term talisman is given to the one player whose genius can turn a game around. With him, his team wins—without him, his team falters. Over the past 25 years, Steve Jobs clashed with Bill Gates, Andy Grove and Michael Dell, but during the past decade, he led Apple’s resurgence with the additions of the iPod, iPhone and iPad, driving Apple to become the world’s most valuable company.
Jobs was the quintessential talisman of the tech word, excelling in tech, design, product, marketing, sales and overall business acumen. However, with Jobs death at the age of 56, it’s a matter of time before the media looks for the next person to lead the technology world, to become the next so-called talisman of the tech industry.
