What was Steve Jobs greatest weakness

1. Although Steve Jobs was a great visionary, he is also cited to be a bully. He had an uncanny capacity  to know exactly what your weak point is, know what will make you feel small, to make you cringe.  

2. He  reportedly took credit for ideas that were not his. " when told of a new idea, he will immediately attack it" and if it was a good one, "he will soon be telling people about it as though it was his own".

3. He wasn't a very good team player and is also said to have a very destructive behavior.

4. His legendary impatience, relentless quest for perfection, domineering presence and obsessive need to control fostered as much as fear within the Apple culture. Steve Jobs is also often described as smug, willful, brazen, demeaning, volatile and manipulative.

5. He was not a model boss or human being, tidily packaged for emulation. Driven by demon, he could drive those around him to fury and despair.The environment under Jobs was not good. There are multiple accounts of his temper flaring and causing him to fire random employees for minor reasons, terminate important business relationships, and cause executives to resign after altercations that include personal attacks.

6. It is reported that the Apple iPod Nano may have a faulty screen. The company has commented that a batch of its product has screens that break under impact, and the company is replacing all faulty items. This is in addition to problems with early iPods that had faulty batteries, whereby the company offered customers free battery cases.  

7. There is pressure on Apple to increase the price of its music download file, from the music industry itself. Many of these companies make more money from iTunes (i.e. downloadable music files) than from their original CD sales. Apple has sold about 22 million iPod digital music players and more than 500 million songs though its iTunes music store. It accounts for 82% of all legally downloaded music in the US. The company is resolute, but if it gives in to the music producers, it may be perceived as a commercial weakness.  

8. Early in 2005 Apple announced that it was to end its long-standing relationship with IBM as a chip supplier, and that it was about to switch to Intel. Some industry specialists commented that the swap could confuse Apple's consumers.
