Steve Jobs: “My model of business is The Beatles”

Steve Jobs: “My model of business is The Beatles”

“[The Beatles] were four very talented guys who kept each other’s negative tendencies in check. They balanced each other, and the total was greater than the sum of the parts. And that’s how I see business. Great things in business are never done by one person. They’re done by a team of people.”

Steve continues:

“The Beatles — when they were together — they did truly brilliant, innovative work. And when they split up, they did good work, but it was never the same. And I see business that way too. It’s really always a team.”
