Steve Jobs talks about managing people

Steve Jobs: "If you wanna hire great people and have them stay working for you, you have to let them make a lot of decisions and you have to be run by ideas not hierarchy. The best ideas have to win, otherwise good people don't stay."

“I contribute ideas, why would I be there if I didn’t?” An underrated quote that many people on group projects should know.

"Ideas should win, not hierarchies" I love that quote, nicely said.

Steve Jobs was so far ahead of his time. Even now, 10 years later, many companies still haven't learned this.

If only more people, not just CEOs; could embrace "the best idea wins". R.I.P. Steve

Fabulously put “You have to be run by ideas not hierarchy. The best ideas have to win”

"If you want to hire great people and keep people working for you, good ideas have to win, otherwise people don't stay". It takes a certain amount of honesty and self-reflection to say that as a leader. It's not about being right, sometimes it's about allowing others the opportunity to even risk being wrong.

I like when he said : " Teamwork is dependent on trusting the other folks to come through with their part without watching them al the time " .... like my Boss do :/

As Ross Perot observed years ago, "you manage inventory. You lead people. ". When you manage people you limit them to your level. Instead, lead them to discover their own greatness.

Steve Jobs was unique in the sense that he was not driven by hierarchy. So many managers are authoritarian and power-based. He allowed his staff to bring their abilities to the table in unique ways thus empowering them to be their best. In return, Apple thrived. Much like John Maxwell, he understood the power of his people.

In 2021, still watching your talks, learning from your thoughts, admiring your opinions and thanking you for what you accomplished. RIP Steve Jobs.

I once worked for a Tech company with this mindset, the atmosphere in the place was amazing, never experienced it again anywhere. So many employers don't have a clue.

I had a chance to be a fly on the wall in a Steve meeting over an engineering issue with the iMac. The meeting got quite loud. People argued their sides passionately. I could see how this could be exhausting for someone who either wasn’t prepared or didn’t have a good grasp of their side of the argument. But I could see how someone could feel like they got run over in that setting. In the end I think the decision was the right one. My favorite thing about working for Apple was the incredibly smart people working there. I mean wicked smart men & women. No, I don’t count myself amount them. Every day I felt I had to elevate my mental game just to keep up. I wish everyone could work at a place like that once in their career. As for Steve my favorite quote about him is from an early Apple employee. “ He was the best boss I ever had and the worst boss I ever had.”

Never gets old. Always come back and I learn again.

He is so inspiring: good people, get together, working together, for the greater good of designing a product that benefit other people, our customers, we all bring together to a product.. Steve J, miss you!

I love that phrase the best idea stays. Too many companies try to right the ship in the wrong direction.

Steve was telling the truth here. Fun fact: he actually wanted to name the first major computer Mac Man because of his love for Sony and their success with the Walk Man. His marketing team talked him out of it and they ultimately named it iMac. The i stands for many things. Internet, individual, independent, etc. but it was also a vision for future products that would all have the i such as the iPod, iPad, and the iPhone. He’s right. You must always let the best ideas win. You never know where it will take you.

This guy mentality was 20years beyond others ! I wish you day more people could think like this especially in Italy ! RIP
