There is no zero, we have no committees, we have no committees, we are a ver, we are organized as a startup, one person is in charge of the iPhone OS software. one person is in charge of mac hardware one person is in charge of iphone hardware engineering another person is in charge of global marketing another person is in charge of operations we are organized as a startup we are the largest startup on the planet and we meet everyone for three hours once a week and we talk about everything we're doing across the business and there's tremendous teamwork at the top of the company that translates into tremendous teamwork throughout the company and the work As a team it depends on trusting other

people

to do their part without looking at them all the time but trusting that they will do their part and that's what we do very well and we're great at figuring out how to break things down in these great teams that We have and we all work on the same thing, we touch bases frequently and we put it all together in a product, we do it very well, so what I do all day is meet with teams of

people

and work on ideas and solve problems to create new ones. products. new marketing programs, whatever they are and there are people willing to tell you that you are wrong, yes, I mean, besides sarcastic journalists, I mean, people are working, yes, no, we have wonderful arguments and you win them all or, oh no, i wish i had made them.
