Jobs wasn’t being awkward by accident. When he stayed silent and held eye contact, he was applying pressure. And pressure reveals truth. If someone rushed to fill the silence or started rambling, it showed they struggled to stay composed when things got uncomfortable. Jobs was looking for people who could think clearly under tension. The test was never about being loud or impressive. It was about restraint. Could you sit with uncertainty without performing? The ones who could signaled maturity, self-control, and quiet confidence. When Jobs remembered details about your family or background, it wasn’t small talk. He was learning what drove you. Later, he’d use that insight to reconnect you to your own standards why you cared, why you pushed yourself, and who you wanted to become. By compressing timelines, he forced people out of incremental thinking. The message was simple: stop negotiating with limits and start finding paths. Most constraints weren’t technical. They were mental. And once someone broke through, their sense of what was possible permanently expanded. Yes, people feared disappointing him. But more than that, they wanted his respect. Jobs made excellence feel personal. You weren’t just shipping a product. You were proving something about yourself. Most leaders lower standards to keep people comfortable. Jobs did the opposite. He made people uncomfortable so they could discover what they were capable of. That’s why people didn’t just work for Steve Jobs. They rose for him.

Steve was top, so this is a good one if you want. You should try this hectare as well. So Steve would do this as well. He'd say, "So hector, so yo...

Ferrari makes you pay to pick up your own car by calling it an “exclusive factory tour.” Rolls-Royce and Maserati made cars feel cheaper by selling them next to jets and yachts. Value is rarely logical. It’s contextual. — Rory Sutherland
