The power of Steve Jobs

Different views on power
Although Steve Jobs become one of the most powerful people in business, he does not think in term of power. He thinks about creating new innovative products that will surprise and delight customers. Happy and loyal customers are what give Apple its ‘power.’ Apple is one of the successful companies. He simply tries to make great products that he want for himself, and hope that customers will love them as much as he does. His goal is to work on both the business side and the creative side.
Although Zhang Yin started out from a modest background, the daughter of a military officer, she is now a businessperson and richer than virtually any other woman anywhere in the world, including Oprah Winfrey, Martha Stewart, and the chief executive of eBay, Meg Whitman. Her personal wealth is estimated at $1.5 billion or more. Her company, Nine Dragons Paper, is now the biggest paper maker in China and one of the successful paper companies. Her goal is to make Nine Dragons, in three to five years, the international leader in containerboards. Therefore, she was tough and had figured out how to get the best performance out of those who worked for her.
My understand
For Steve Jobs, his power is to change the world – evolution.
For Zhang Yin, her power is being the first paper factory in the world – aggressive development.
