Steve Jobs on Teams & Collaboration

Jobs repeatedly says great work comes from teams, not lone stars: the best people want to work with other great people, and strong groups can become self-managing. He also ties collaboration to structure—ideas should beat hierarchy, and clear vision plus trust lets people do their best work together.

“The big things in business are never done by one person.”
“The greatest people are self-managing.”
“You have to be run by ideas, not hierarchy.”
