Comparing the Leadership Styles of Sir Richard Branson and Steve Jobs STEVEN TCHEA- 210687979 THOMAS SMITH-210665587 11 September 2010 Executive summary This report undertakes a comparative analysis of the management styles of two prominent leaders; Sir Richard Branson of Virgin Group and Steve Jobs of Apple inc. Leaders are assessed in the context of past and contemporary management theories. Research for this report included a broad review of books, papers and web based articles on managemen. Findings indicate that while both Branson and Jobs can be modelled by a transformational leader dynamic, they differ considerably in their approach. It was found that in terms of Fiedler’s contingency model, Branson is considerably more focused on the fostering of relationships and relies heavily on referent power, contrasting with Jobs’ higher orientation toward goal-achievement and greater exercise of expert and coercive power.
