Petulant, brittle,abrasive, cuttingly dismissive, cantankerous.

English lesson? No!
All the words above describe STEVE JOBS!!


He was mean, abrasive and cuttingly dismissive of co-workers in his quest for perfection.


He was not warm or fuzzy.


He was very petulant. He was very brittle. He could be very very mean to people at times.


To a waitress in a restaurant or to a guy who had stayed up all night coding, he could really just go at them and say "You are doing this all wrong. It's horrible"


He was pretty abrasive and a cantankerous character.


When  building a fence with his adopted father, he said "You got to make the back of the fence that nobody will see just as good looking as the front of the fence.  That will show that you are dedicated to making something perfect"


He was the world's worst managers.
He was always upending things.
Throwing things into a turmoil.
This made great products, but it didn't make for a great management style.
