Many people have touched on what an individual can learn from Steve Jobs. But few, if not any of them, have worked and learned directly from Steve Jobs. I don't want to forget any lesson I learned from it, so here is my list of the best twelve lessons I've learned from the wonderful Steve Jobs.
1- The ignorant experts
Experts, journalists, analysts, consultants, bankers and debt leaders cannot do something so they give advice. They can tell you what's wrong with your product but they can't produce what they recommend. They can tell you how to be a good staff but they only manage one secretary. For example, experts have told us that the shortcomings of Mackinuch in the mid-1980s are the daisy-wheel printer driver technology and the Lotus 1-2-3 software, and they gave us another tip which is to buy a Compaq, listen to what the experts say but don't listen to them often.
2- Clients cannot tell you what they need
Apple's market analysis is inconsistent. Apple's discussion and creativity group was a conversation between the rights and left half of Steve Jobs' mind. If you ask your customers what they want, they will tell you “better, faster, cheaper” - and this is like the best. There is no fundamental difference in what they want. They can only tell you what they wish in the form of what they are currently using - at the beginning of introducing the Macintosh, everyone said they wanted MS-DOS better and cheaper faster. The richest person in technology produces what you need and that's what Steve Jobs did.
3- Jump to the next curve
Huge profits happen when you go beyond the idea of making the same product better. The best printing companies were introducing new fonts with more sizes. Apple introduced the next step. Laser printing. Think of ice plants and refrigeration companies. Ice 1.0,0, and 3.0 still harvest snow during the winter from a frozen pond.
4- Stronger challenges produce the best deeds
I used to live in many concerns, such as that Steve Jobs will one day tell me that I and my business are rubbish. In front of everyone. These concerns were major challenges. Competing with IBM and Microsoft was a big challenge. Changing the world was a big challenge. Apple employees and I before and after us did our best work because we had to do our best to meet the biggest challenges.
5- Design has effect
Steve madness has raised many people with design requirements, some of the black aspects weren't black enough. The common man thinks black is black. The trash can is the trash can! Steve was one or more experts. Some people care about design, but many people can at least feel it.
6- You cannot go wrong with graphics and big fonts
Take a look at Steve Jobs' slideshow. There is always just a big graph. Look at the others' slideshow - even those who watched Steve Jobs. The font size is 8 and there are no graphics. So people said that Steve Jobs was the best presenter ... don't you wonder why others didn't copy his presentation?
7- Changing your thinking is a sign of intelligence
When Apple launched the iPhone, there was no such thing as applications. Apps, as Steve said, was a bad thing because you simply didn't know what apps could do with your phone. And the Safari website was the way to do that until another six months when Steve Jobs decided that the applications are the solution and the applications became from the Safari apps to "There is an application for that."
8- The value differs from the price
Woe to you if you decide everything based on the price. Woe to you if you rely in competition on price only. Price is not everything that matters, at least for some people, value is the most important thing. The value depends on the training, support, and internal enjoyment of using the tools. We can say that those who buy Apple products do not buy it for the low price.
9- Good players appoint excellent players
As a matter of fact, Steve Jobs thought the good player would attract and hire the excellent player. I made a slight tweak to this - my theory is that good employees hire better employees. It is clear that grade (B) employees appoint grade (C) staff so that they can feel their preference. If you assign B players, expect stupidity to explode - as Steve Jobs called him - in your organization.
10- Executives review their products
Steve Jobs could have provided an iPad, an iPod, a phone and a Mac two to three times a year to millions of people. Why are so many company executives getting production managers or engineering managers to showcase the product? It could be that they want to highlight the team, and they may not be aware enough of what their company is making until they explain it.
