Thus Spake Steve Jobs

Another of his interview, that has gems in each of his answers. He talks about  Apple’s Focus, Strategy, Employees, Work Style, Ups & Downs. Click here for the link. Some key takeways:

  • Make products you personally want to own.
  • Consultants/Market Researchers Excuse! Never hire a consultant, just make a great product.
  • Focusing doesnt mean saying Yes to thing in focus, instead it’s saying No to hundred other ideas. Pick Carefully.
  • Recruit People who are in love with your company, then everything else would take care of itself.
  • We didn’t want to get into any business where we didn’t own or control the primary technology because you’ll get your head handed to you.

  • Interesting points as always.Steve Jobs is the man..

    But then, a contrasting qoute by mr.narain murthy got me thinking.

    The 4th point here!! mr.murthy said love ur work, neva love the company cos u never know when t company stops luving u!!!

    Wonder if both r right in their own rights and their biz domain(service/product)

  • Loving your company implies loving your job while the inverse isn’t necessarily true.

    And hey, never expect to be loved back but again it is not worthy of you ;)
