Steve Jobs considered that hiring new employees was a fundamental task in his companies. Many things have been said about these interviews with candidates, but few approach what Apple's co-founder was really looking for. Jobs learned to search, find and value what was really valuable in a future employee. But it was something that took time to discover.
The best employees do not need to be given orders. They give them themselves. If they know what needs to be done, they will find a way to do it and do not need to be told. What they need is a common vision and that is what leadership is. Leadership is having that vision and being able to articulate it to the people around you so that they understand it.
In Cuora we also find some testimonies of interviews with Steve Jobs. In one of them, a candidate who has already gone through several interviews and has passed the filters, he only had to face Steve Jobs. The one who proposed was Ken Rosen, who was quite confident that the candidate would pass the test.
