印度人J:
人很聪明,活也干的不错,属于有小聪明无大智慧的那种,一直努力搏出位。他自己时常主动和公司高层管理单独约见,提供自己对公司对部门的看法,以及对自己现状的不满。其实公司领导和中国历史上皇帝昏君没什么两样,都是只爱听好话,不爱听负面意见,而在领导面前表现自己也是双刃剑,表现的不好时等于朝自己脚上开枪(shoot in the foot) ,中国有句话叫“藏拙“不是没有道理的。
他有时来找我分享他和公司大头1 ON 1 的内容,他对公司的很多看法其实也都不错,但恰好不是上层所愿意面对与承认的。他对老板也不忠心,常常背后传播关于老板的坏话,时间一长,名声就出去了,在我们公司的政治斗争中他苦斗了两轮但最终被踢出局。

John Sculley和他后面的非技术CEO Gil Amelio终于一步步把苹果公司做到濒临破产。JOBS趁此机会东山再起,于1997年重掌苹果电脑的大权。在同年推出iMac,在之后推出深受大众欢迎的iBook,Mac mini,Mac OS X操作系统,iPod,Apple TV和iTunes音乐商店等一系列广受市场好评的产品。iPod的发明对Apple具有历史意义,它使苹果电脑从一个生产某种特别电脑的NICHE MARKET 的公司横跨到了大众消费市场。
当年的一次会上,iPod作为新产品之一列入讨论议程,Steve Jobs 看了样品很喜欢,但不肯定会在市场上热卖,尤其是MP3已经很风行,但他还是最终拍了板,说试试看吧。 iPod的巨大成功可能是他自己也始料未及的。
整整经历了二十多年,Steve Jobs 终于成为了从一个技术NERD 成为了一个VISIONARY的管理者。
