I remember one time I called Ron Johnson. Ron Johnson worked for Steve Jobs. He ran Apple Retail. And I remember asking him how Steve Jobs ran Apple. And he said, even when Apple was like 20, 30, 40,000 people, he only ever thought of Apple as 100 employees. That's why he had this offsite called Top 100. And so he said his job was to only manage the top 100 people and they manage everyone else.
