Steve Jobs returned to Apple in 1996 and took control of the company when he returned. Apple was just 90 days from bankruptcy. Steve, took Apple from near bankruptcy to 400 billion in net worth in just 15 years. That's nothing short of spectacular. So how did he do that? In today's podcast, we're talking about a core element of his philosophy that really helped them along their journey. Steve said in an interview that wasn't published in its entirety until after he passed away:

"a team working really hard on something that they're really passionate about. It's through the team, through that group of talented people, bumping up against each other. Having arguments, having fights sometimes, making some noise, working together, they polish each other, and polish the ideas, and what comes out of these is really beautiful stones. It's hard to explain, and it's certainly not the result of one person, but it really was a team effort on the new Mac."

Steve understood. The importance of having the right people in the right place, but also having the right culture to help them flourish. And that's a huge part of what turned that company around from being nearly in bankruptcy to being the 3. 5 trillion business that it is today.
