Why Steve Jobs was Fired from AppleDo you like this story?One of the most intriguing chapters in Steve's stellar career and life was his being fired from Apple. Steve Jobs was fired in 1985 from a company he founded after a power struggle with then Apple CEO John Sculley that led to the Apple Board voting him out and leaving him in the wilderness for 12 years until 1997 when he rejoined Apple as the CEO and took Apple on the path to victory.
In 1984, Steve convinced John Sculley, the Pepsi Cola President to join Apple as CEO while Steve immersed himself in several projects and technology developments at Apple. However, the young headstrong Steve soon had a clash with his "boss" on the direction of the company and Steve wanted to be CEO again.
Steve made a plan to get rid of Sculley from the CEO job by sending him to China and organizing a corporate coup d'etat. Sculley went to China but soon enough got wind of Steve's plot and rushed back to the United States just in time to conspire with the Apple Board to throw Steve out. Everyone on the board voted against Steve Jobs, the board was apparently unhappy with Steve's indiscipline.
Steve Job's problems at Apple started when Apple was designing a personal computer LISA. Steve was expelled from this project in 1982 and asked to work for Macintosh. LISA was presented in 1983 and it did not perform well. Though, people believe it was a marketing failure. While the project assigned to Steve - Macintosh did extremely well. Steve now lost faith on Scullery and he wanted the control back. He started doing odd things like late night meetings and long faxes and many nondisciplinary activities. The Board lost patience with him. The China tour was therefore just the final trigger for the Board to get rid of this troublesome genius.
