The Characteristics That I Look For When I'm Looking For Really Good Entrepreneurs To Lead Companies Are You Have To Have An Inquiring Mind, You Have To Say There Must Be A Better Way To Do Things, And Now With Technology At A Point Where Everything Is Possible, How Do We Turn The Possible Into The Probable? And It All Starts With A Passion To Do Something Really Well, To Solve A Problem In A Way That's Never Been Solved Before, And To Have Just An Incredible Work Ethic, To Be Persistent.

Work Ethic

I Feel Most Badly, Though, [because] After 10 Years, I Was At The Company, I Wanted To Go Back To New York Where I Was From. Why I Didn’t Go To Steve Jobs And Say, ‘steve, Let’s Figure Out How You Can Come Back And Lead Your Company.’ I Didn’t Do That, It Was A Terrible Mistake On My Part. I Can’t Figure Out Why I Didn’t Have The Wisdom To Do That. But I Didn’t. And As Life Has It, Shortly After That, I Was Fired.
