Steve Jobs once shared some advice about the best managers: He said they're usually people who don't necessarily want to be managers.
Jobs said in a 1985 interview that when he and Apple's other cofounders realized that it was going to be a big company, they hired professional managers.
"It didn't work at all," Jobs said in the interview. "Most of them were bozos. They knew how to manage, but they didn't know how to do anything. And so if you're a great person, why do you wanna work for somebody you can't learn anything from?"
Jobs said that the people who are really great at their jobs make the best managers.
