A former Senior VP of Apple shares how Steve Jobs motivated people to do the best work of their lives

Jay Elliot was hired personally by Steve Jobs, just in time to accompany him on the last of his historic visits to Xerox's Palo Alto Research Center, the visits that changed the course of computing. As Senior VP of Apple, Jay served as Steve's right-hand man and trouble-shooter, overseeing all corporate operations and business planning, as well as software development and HR. In Leading Apple with Steve Jobs, Jay details how Steve managed and motivated his people--and what every manager can learn from Jobs about motivating people to do the best work of their lives.

Steve Jobs used the phrase "Pirates Not the Navy" as a rallying cry--a metaphor to "Think Different." In the days of developing the Macintosh, it became a four-word mission statement. It expresses the heart of Apple and Steve. The management principles that grew out of that statement form the backbone of this book.

4 lefts vs 2 rights
Size: Medium, Color: (001) Black / Black / Castlerock, Size: Medium, Color: (001) Black / Black / Castlerock
I ordered a set of three. I ended up with four left socks and two right socks lol. Granted it doesn’t matter unless you’re OCD. JEEZ. Love the socks but not the attention to detail the sock company did on matching left/right marked socks.

Hold up to tough wear - definitely recommend
Size: X-Large, Color: (001) Black / Black / Castlerock
These are my teens favorite socks. We've ordered multiple sets. Given that he tends to wear then as slippers I am really impressed with how they hold up. The extra large size is great for bigger feet. They wash well and I didn't notice any shrinkage, fading or pilling. This set is going to college with him.
