Audie Honor Finalist, Business/Educational, 2014 A former Senior VP of Apple stocks how Steve Jobs motivated people to do the best work of these lives Jay Elliot was chosen professionally by Steve Jobs, just in time to go along with him on the last of his historical trips to Xerox's Palo Alto Research Center, the trips that altered the course of processing. As Senior VP of Apple, Jay offered as Steve's right-hand man and trouble-shooter, overseeing all corporate functions and business planning, as well as software development and HR. In Leading Apple with Steve Jobs, Jay details how Steve handled and encouraged his people - and what every administrator can learn from Jobs about motivating people to do the best work of these lives. Steve Jobs used the phrase "Pirates! Not the Navy" as a rallying cry - a metaphor to "Think Different." In the days of growing the Macintosh, it became a four-word quest affirmation. It expresses the center of Apple and Steve. The management key points that grew out of that affirmation form the backbone of this book.
