This is part 2 of 3 (Part 1--The Functional Organization: https://youtu.be/5hENFA3CJUY Part 3--Leadership at Scale: https://youtu.be/hczW4Bqf3Qk). Ever since Steve Jobs implemented the functional organization, Apple’s managers at every level, from senior vice president on down, have been expected to possess three key leadership characteristics: deep expertise that allows them to meaningfully engage in all the work being done within their individual functions; immersion in the details of those functions; and a willingness to collaboratively debate other functions during collective decision-making. When managers have these attributes, decisions are made in a coordinated fashion by the people most qualified to make them."
