I liked his comment about having "wonderful arguments" and admitting he didn't win all of them. It showed a different side of a leader who is known for being difficult to get along with. Despite that, his team felt comfortable disagreeing with him and working with him to achieve the team's goals.

I think it's rare to see that happen. Usually when a CEO leaves, they move on and don't return. To me, this demonstrates how much Apple and Jobs are intertwined and made me curious about how things are going at Apple now a few years after his death.

This further supports my statement that I think Jobs will rank in history as one of the top CEOs.

If the manager is engaged, the employees will perform better. Also good point about reward programs and the burn out factor. It's discouraging when you get a reward for something one year and then nothing the next year.

While some can be made easily and without a great deal of thought, other decisions require more complex analysis. These tips include weighing the consequences, contemplating interpersonal issues and weighing alternatives. This is something I deal with during the home buying and home selling process with my customers. When presenting an issue to my customer, I have to think about how each side of the transaction may react and what consequences there are. I have to think about all the possible alternatives and be able to give pros and cons of each. By thinking the problem through before discussing with my customer I am able to provide the information they need to make the best decision for their situation in a way that is not overwhelming to them.]]> 2017-06-19 17:17:30 UTC https://padlet.com/buyorsellcallmichelle/MAN2021Frericks/wish/176889181 buyorsellcallmichelle https://padlet.com/buyorsellcallmichelle/MAN2021Frericks/wish/176889848 Great insights into the many serious considerations when doing business globally.
