In a resurfaced video, a remarkable moment from Apple co-founder Steve Jobs has captivated audiences anew. During a Q&A session, Mr Jobs, known for his profound insights and laser-sharp focus, is asked a question that prompts him to pause for 18 full seconds before responding.
In one of his most iconic moments, Mr Jobs was asked, "What's the one thing you personally learned at Apple that you're doing it next? His answer? It took 18 seconds of pause before he responded. "Good Question," he said.
He added, "I'm not sure I learned that when I was at Apple, but I learned it based on the data when I was at Apple. And that is I now take a longer term view on people. In other words, when I see something not being done right, my first reaction isn't go fix it, it's to say we are building a team here and we are going to do great stuff for the next decade, not just the next year and so what do I need to do to help so that the person that's screwing up learns."
