Bill Gates he spoke again about Steve Jobs in an interview he recently gave for CNN, and which will be broadcast tomorrow. In this interview, Bill Gates provided quite a few details about the collaborations he had with Steve Jobs, but also about the qualities of the Apple co-founder.
Bill Gates claims that Steve Jobs was a real "asshole", because he knew how to motivate his employees to achieve their goals, and he knew how to choose the most beautiful designs for products. Steve Jobs chose for Apple products some of the most beautiful designs in their history, and Bill Gates finally praises him for it.
Bill Gates he also praised Steve Jobs because he knew how to choose very "talented" people for the projects that Apple had in development, and knew how to motivate them perfectly. Bill Gates compares Steve Jobs to a wizard who cast spells within Apple to bring the best possible products to the market, surpassing even Microsoft.
"Gates will bring up the leadership qualities of his rival, Steve Jobs, but also admits that the late Apple co-founder could be "an asshole." Gates did say that no one could match Jobs "in terms of picking talent, hyper-motivating that talent, and having a sense of design of, 'Oh, this is good. This is not good." He added that Jobs "brought some incredibly positive things along with that toughness."
