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.

  1. 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 ;)
