“Three important lessons Tim Cook learned from working with Steve Jobs”

🌟 In 2011, after the death of Steve Jobs, Tim Cook was appointed CEO of Apple and led the company to remarkable growth. Cook still follows the lessons he learned from Jobs and uses them in his decision‑making. Over the years, he has often spoken about his experiences working with Jobs and has revealed parts of Jobs’s advice in his speeches and interviews. The three important lessons he learned are:

◽️ 1. Small teams can accomplish amazing things Apple’s CEO says the teams responsible for building the iPod and iPhone were small. The team that built the iPhone may have been small, but it created a device that transformed smartphones.

◽️ 2. Hire people who challenge you Apple is known as one of the best companies to work for in the tech industry, but also one of the hardest places to get hired. According to Cook, there is a reason for this. He says Jobs told him to hire people who challenge him. He added that your employees should have skills you don’t have, and managers must ensure this.

◽️ 3. Don’t be afraid to change your mind The advantage of hiring the best people is that you can trust their ideas, which may be better than yours. Cook says that while working with Jobs, he learned not to cling to old viewpoints, because businesses can change instantly with new evidence.
