My left ear will go far in life thanks to this brilliant advice.

Saying no to things unrelated to your goals, the Steve Jobs quote, is still underrated.

USC Marshall also needs to continually improve. By getting rid of legacy admissions and cleaning up corruption. -USC grad

Love this. He speaks the truth!

Its about Improving processes.

Six Sigma in business and just as important in life.

You trust in your team. It's hard go do sometimes when you want to do something all by yourself. But it's the single most trajectory changer in my books. You don't get what you want mostly, and it would be lesser than what you hoped in some cases. But in other cases people will surprise you with things you didn't imagine yourself and that makes all the difference.

Of course it bloody works. I cannot wrap my head around the mentality of just leaving things and not questioning the process. If business is your area then you should be looking to make it function as well as you can. I work in manufacturing operating machinery. The older guys have a kind of procedure that they never deviate from. Specific people do specific jobs and never stray outside this, even if there is something urgent needed elsewhere. When asked to do something they say "Dave does that", as if they're incapable of it! There are dozens of CNC programs for recurring jobs that were written hastily and waste a huge amount of time. It's infuriating. Plenty of opportunity for me to make significant improvements though.

He was brilliant. A superb entrepreanur

Very nice... scientific approach to improve processes in a company.

3 decades later. I’m at my job. I ask…why is this done this way? Answer: I don’t know that’s just the way we do it. Smh.

Amazing! thanks.

thanks for uploading

This idea applied to a single individual is growth mindset

Fantastic advice!

Steve would probably berate whoever made the audio of this video.

This is essential if you want your organization to be ISO 9001:2015 certified.

Yup, makes sense

Nature follows this process.

What a man

I learned from this comment that my iPhone was set to "mono audio". I have no idea how long it's been like that.

this is the biggest difference between Japan and China. There were American quality consultants that went to Japan decades ago to assist in implementing quality improvement programs. Initially cars from Japan were poor quality/had a lot of issues. But fast forward a few years later Toyota and Honda make vast improvements. As well as many other Japanese manufacturers (electronics, optics, etc.) Steve realized after his Next computer company failed, that there is a limit to the number of consumers that are willing to pay more for quality products. People look at price first when it comes to a lot of consumer products, they will choose to purchase the cheaper brands. Except now you have NO choice except to buy products that are made in China, that includes premium name brands (American, European in particular) they are ALL made in China now. The only exception is a few limited models of Sub Zero Refrigerators (even some of their models are now made in China, apparently). I used to buy mid priced models of household appliances (refrigerators, washing machines, etc.) But given they no longer last 10 to 20 years like before, I just buy the cheapest brand/model and accept the fact, in most cases the appliances will no last longer then 3 to 5 years I don't even get upset anymore, nor will I bother hiring a appliance service repair company, its not worth spending $250+ for a product that costs $500 to $600 to purchase a new one.

Interesting to consider that despite this talk of continuous improvement mindset, the culture that apple, from Lisa onwards, have tried to instill in customer base is one of never questioning or modifying their products until instructed to replace with latest infallible version... Whereas what IBM and Microsoft ended up creating was a user base who would tinker and improve and upgrade their products.

You cannot mix two subjects that are working apart idiologicaly in the same process, you can only make them get along for part of it.

It's called the Toyota Production System (TPS)

conitnues getting credit for things that your colleagues came up with.. Steve jobs mantra

Solid

Not many companies, especially so-called-Canadian owned , are actually doing that . Also not many employees understand this process. They are either afraid of change or lack of. Then they need to be let go.

Improving things is good, but there is a counter to it, and that is changing things just for the sake of changing them. It is something that is often done by managers and leaders when they go into companies as they feel compelled to make a "difference", regardless of whether it improves things or not. If not controlled, they may makes things worse. That is why when someone comes in and starts asking questions, there also needs to be someone who questions them and sets expectations for the proposed improvement.

It's done like this because Steve Jobs said so

Does anyone know when this interview was being recorded?

❤

Steve Jobs is somehow always present for advice but so am I, kind regards. Saskia van Houtert, engineer/office-manager.

What does he want to say. Please someone explain.

My company needs to watch this video. Instead of sending baseless emails and finger pointing at individuals. Look at your damn process and ask why it has produced output that isn’t deemed acceptable today. Ask yourself why it was acceptable in years past. Companies needs to talk more about process improvement.

i though my headphone is dead

He really looks like Ashton Kutcher. 😁

W. Edwards Deming

Toyota. Kaizen. As a summer student they gave me $5 (inflation $15) per idea to improve ANY process. Lets' say, my lunchtimes where spent scribbling improvements.

My question for apple, why have you become a company where 90% of your profit comes from over priced cell phones?

counterpoint:. "perfection is the enemy of good." ...that means, you take a lot longer and get more stressed out when you always try to perfect something. you need to have a little bit of both, some emphasis on perfecting things can be good, but you also need it to be okay to just get an adaquet job done sometimes.

3 people are deaf in their left ear

Optimistic humanism?

I thought my bluetooth headset went to meet Steve in heaven

I heard it was platos school of thought.. question things about yourself

Steven Paul Jobs (San Francisco, 24 de febrero de 1955-Palo Alto, 5 de octubre de 2011) fue un empresario, diseñador industrial, magnate empresarial, propietario de medios e inversor estadounidense. Fue cofundador y presidente ejecutivo de Apple​ y máximo accionista individual de The Walt Disney Company.

This is the preppie Steve Jobs that I remember.

he didnt know any coding, any electronics.. yet how he became ceo? because, he knew how to design

My right ear feels lonely

He kinda looks like Andrew Garfield.

Bro ... don't make me do more work

Jobs sounds like he read McGregor’s 1960’s Theory Y about workforce motivation, compared to the old Theory X assumptions. Certainly nothing new here! Good to see that he adopted, or at least espoused, Theory Y management assumptions.

Just bought the iPhone 15. Where’s my home button?

They might seem good enough just bad company seemed as well it’s like greed vs talent vs formality priority take over I don’t know and I don’t care I only care what I know so you care dolls ok not my business

I think this video would be improved if I could hear it in my right ear. Mr. Jobs didn't think about that one now did he?

Why does he look like Tucker Carlson lol

When Apple was good…

And this is why Apple is the biggest company in the world.

Back in his Atari days he didn't even wear deodorant. Glad he improved that process.

-thoaimaiquyetdoan-

When jobs was in his looking like Trudeau phase

Guy was very full of himself huge ego 🙄

Famous for inventing a sh*tty phone that you can't repair by yourself without corrupting it. What a genius 🙃

Yeah Steve, you know what else works? Getting immediate surgery on the only form of pancreatic cancer that is of yet highly treatable. You won at business and failed at reality.
