This is the one takeaway from Steve Jobs 1992 MIT talk you must remember at workThis is the one takeaway from Steve Jobs 1992 MIT talk you must remember at workApple titan Steve Jobs spoke to students at the MIT Sloan School of Managementdecades ago in 1992, but one of his biggest takeaways on work remains relevant today.Referring to Jobs time at NeXT Computer Corporation, where he served as president and CEO,an attendee asked him, Whats the most important thing that you personally learned at Apple that youre doing at NeXT?Im not sure I learned this when I was at Apple, but I learned it based on the data when I was at Apple. Uh, 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 isnt to go fix it. Um, its to say, were building a team here and were gonna 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 thats screwing up learns? versus, how do I fix the problem?And uh, thats painful sometimesand I still have that first instinct to go fix the problem, but, thats, taking a longer-term view on people is probably the biggest thing thats changedand then, I dont know, maybepart of thats biological.There you have it, folks- in a nutshell, Jobs shows why its important not to give up hope on those you work with. By essentially saying that he took more of a hands-off approach to solving immediate workplace issues at hand, he shows why its more crucial to keep the big picture in mind. After all, investing in employees knowledge is one way that employers and management can ultimately set a company up for a greater shot at success. Watch the clip below.H/t Inc.com
