Jobs' business philosophy;
Jobs believes that the top ten employees of a startup company determine the level of the company, because everyone should be able to undertake one-tenth of the company's work.
He often compares the Beatles to the strength of a team: no major task can be accomplished by one person, or by two or three or four people.
In order to do a good job, you can't just rely on one person to complete the work, you must find someone with extraordinary ability to cooperate. Finally, sum up the forces generated by individual interactions, so that the overall strength will be far greater than the sum of individual strengths.
