Anyone read the bio on Steve Jobs?
I just finished it and its quite a read.
Some points
They got people when they wanted them - unlike our mil or civ recruiting process - especially relevant to reserves I think
They fired people when they had to - quickly - no BS Admin Review for him
They brought in technology quickly and dump it just as quick
Advertising - fast
HQ Level - very flat - no multi layer staffs to go through to get something done.
When I listen to various Transformation Briefings all I hear is its a shell game - a net zero exercise.
Steve Jobs was DEATH on Powerpoint slide timewasters - we love Powerpoint. Something is wrong here.
His mantra was talk to the decision maker vs read them pics and text.
If nothing else - get the book - read it and it is a good guide to getting stuff done fast.
