Steve Jobs on Management
Jobs consistently treats management as building the right team, vision, and culture, not just supervising people. He says great managers are often strong individual contributors, that teams should be self-managing, and that leaders should focus on product and strategy while letting the best ideas win.
“You don't have to manage good people.”
“The people that are really good want to work with the best people they can find”
“You have to be run by ideas, not hierarchy.”
