Steve Jobs on Hierarchy vs. Innovation
When it comes to Steve Jobs, his #life has been expounded upon by many and opinions of his legacy vary depending on who you ask. Nonetheless, there is no denying that the man successfully led #Apple in spearheading the smart phone revolution via the groundbreaking introduction of the iPhone in 2007.
One of the keys to Steve Jobs' success in leading Apple was his particular #philosophy about maintaining a balance between hierarchy and innovation in the day to #business operations of the company. Check out the brief clip linked in the tweet below to learn more:

The quote from the interview that resonates most for me is at the very end, when Steve Jobs remarks: "The best ideas have to win. Otherwise good people don't stay."
There is something to be said about a CEO of one of the world's most valuable companies who attested to appreciating disagreement for the sake of advancing potentially disruptive ideas. There is the obvious benefit of #money in the form of increased revenues for the company by being the first to market a breakthrough product. Yet there is also the added benefit of retaining quality talent that further upholds a culture which celebrates ingenuity.
