For those without access, the A players part OP mentioned can be also seen in this folklore.org entry - http://www.folklore.org/StoryView.py?project=Macintosh&story=How_to_Hire_Insanely_Great_Employees.txt Though it was a bit differently phrased and expanded in the interview. It boiled down to A players don't want to work with B & C players they want to work with other A players. The interview is long (a bit over 1 hour) covers: - early days (how they started) - visits to Xerox research labs (this is the best part of the interview imho) - product timeline up to Steve's departure from Apple - Microsoft & IBM monopoly - a passage on his struggle with Sculley & his departure from Apple - a *tiny* passage about NeXT where he mostly made a pitch for OOP - 'guessing' the future where Steve mostly put bets on the web The interview took place 18 months before Steve sold NeXT to Apple. There was little about the tech side of things, most sections had business related questions slipped in the interview. Quite nice to watch but not mind blowing.
