I’ve almost finished watching J.B. Peterson’s course of lectures “Personality and Its Transformation 2017”. There is only one lecture remains. I think I will watch these lectures again from the very beginning. However, I will do it later, maybe in a few months. These lectures contain a lot of good things to discuss. I could use them for CF.
Today, when I read the book “Steve Jobs”, I found a remarkable quote which precisely describes my thoughts about CF. I’m about to rewrite this quote here:
“For most things in life, the range between best and average is 30% or so. The best airplane flight, the best meal, they may be 30% better than your average one. What I saw with Woz was somebody who was fifty times better than the average engineer. He could have meetings in his head. The Mac team was an attempt to build a whole team like that, A players. People said they wouldn't get along, they'd hate working with each other. But I realized that A players like to work with A players, they just didn't like working with C players. At Pixar, it was a whole company of A players. When I got back to Apple, that's what I decided to try to do. You need to have a collaborative hiring process. When we hire someone, even if they're going to be in marketing, I will have them talk to the design folks and the engineers. My role model was J. Robert Oppenheimer. I read about the type of people he sought for the atom bomb project. I wasn't nearly as good as he was, but that's what I aspired to do.”
Very, very useful knowledge.
