Dan Martell - How Steve Jobs lead his team

00:00:00.000 Steve Jobs had this thing, he called it the 100.

00:00:01.880 Every quarter, he would go around the company

00:00:04.140 and tap on the shoulder up to 100 people

00:00:06.840 that he felt, if he ever had to start over again at Apple,

00:00:09.640 that he would bring with him.

00:00:10.820 Every quarter, they would go to Half Moon Bay,

00:00:12.720 do an offsite for two days.

00:00:14.140 100 people, they would list the 10 priorities.

00:00:16.980 This is what I think we need to do next quarter.

00:00:18.400 Everybody fought for their idea.

00:00:19.840 They wrote down the top 10.
