''bombarded with this weird concrete poetry'' (cornelia parker)

[Big Brain Business @BigBrainBizness]

Steve Jobs explains why his model for business is the Beatles:

In a 60 Minutes interview, Jobs is asked about his philosophy on building great companies.

His answer points not to a CEO or a founder, but to a band.

He explains:

"My model of business is the Beatles. They were four very talented guys. Four guys who kept each other's kind of negative tendencies in check. They balanced each other and the sum was greater, the total was greater than the sum of the parts."

For Jobs, the lesson wasn't just that talented people working together produce more output. It was that the right group of people actively cancel out each other's worst instincts.

Talent alone isn't enough, you need teammates who hold you in check.

He continues:

"That's how I see business. Great things in business are never done by one person. They're done by a team of people."

Jobs doubles down with the part of the analogy that really seals the point:

"The Beatles, when they were together, they did truly brilliant, innovative work. And when they split up, they did good work, but it was never the same. And I see business that way too. It's really always a team."

The same four people who made the most influential music of their generation went on to make merely "good" work the moment they stopped balancing each other out.

The job isn't to be the smartest person in the room. It's to find the three or four others whose strengths cover your blind spots, and whose presence keeps your worst tendencies in check.

Pick your bandmates carefully. The work you do together will be better than anything you'd ever do alone — and if you split up, you might never reach that level again.

@awfulannouncing WTF is going on with Agassi? Why does the choose the be a villain here, trash talking one sick player after the other. Is that how a Laver Cup coach should sound? Very disappointing behaviour from such a great former champion…

[Sebi Cable @SebiCable]

@awfulannouncing @TNTSportsUS please pull @AndreAgassi off the air. Tired of this pretentious jackass

@alessandro_a_v_ Quando è perfetto lo criticano perché è prefetto, quando non lo è perché non lo è. Unica certezza è che è pieno di gente che non ha una vita e ama criticare sempre e comunque.

@GiuseppeFalcao Gattuso secondo me ha fatto cambi inspiegabile. Facendo uscire quelli che la partita possono risolvertela. E si é interstardito a seguire per 2 ore una strategia che per tutta la partita è stata fallimentare. Rinvii inutili.

#BosniaItalia, Minuto 41’, espulso #Bastoni. Purtroppo si era dimenticato che in campo internazionale non valgono le regole della #MarottaLeague.
Distratto.

RT se sei d’accordo.

Hard-court tennis, conquered.

Congratulations @janniksin👑

Yesterday a shy and introverted boy won the tournament without losing a single set. No roars. No chest-thumping rituals. No gladiatorial theatre for the cameras. Only a small gesture: a finger pointed to the heart.

Cameron Norrie on practicing with Jannik Sinner in Indian Wells:

“It was my first practice here. We had the centre court and it was meant to be two hours, but we were both having an unreal practice and both enjoying it.”

@LoverLondonGirl jannik has the patience of a saint 99% of the time so whoever got him to snap like that must have been absolutely insufferable. you gotta be a special kind of annoying to break sinner's composure mid match tbh

@Mrnicknovak @lnmangione286 @jannik_files What will you do about this, @BNPPARIBASOPEN? Will you allow this disrespect? This is a tennis match, not a football game
