"Do you want to spend the rest of your life selling sugared water, or do you want a chance to change the world?" This powerful question by Steve Jobs lured John Sculley to Apple and offers a unique perspective on building a motivated and visionary team.Article:
Steve Jobs once famously asked John Sculley, "Do you want to spend the rest of your life selling sugared water, or do you want a chance to change the world?" This question holds a potent lesson for anyone looking to build a dynamic and driven team in the business world.When assembling a team, you want more than just people filling chairs; you need individuals who are passionate, motivated, and aligned with your business vision. The first part of Jobs' question highlights the mundane nature of one's current pursuits, prompting individuals to reflect: "Do I want to spend the rest of my life doing this?"
The second part urges a deeper consideration: "Do I want to change the world?" For some, this idea may be more appealing than continuing with the status quo, although fears about adequacy and comfort can hold them back.
Jobs' question introduces a concept of implied discontent, encouraging individuals to seek something better, be it in occupation or life purpose. This approach turned discontent into an effective tool, exemplified by Jobs when recruiting Sculley.
Most of us long for a life of genuine purpose, to make a meaningful impact. Jobs' question resonates because it urges us to evaluate our lives. Are our current actions aligned with our life's purpose? This isn't just about discontent but a prompt for introspection. Whether launching a new business or fostering a team of like-minded professionals, this question deserves consideration.
Some critics might say this method uses discontent to drive people to your cause. However, if your business aligns with a prospective employee's passions and you’ve done your due diligence, this questioning can be a compelling call to action. It helps them reevaluate their current role, which might just be a paycheck without purpose, against the opportunity to collaborate in a more fulfilling, team-oriented environment.
Ultimately, it boils down to a singular reflection: if given the chance to change the world, would you seize it?
