> I think you're on the right track, but in my opinion, it is more about having reliable employees than employees who care or are engaged. Sure! I think the (maybe sad) reality is that most larger companies don't actually need excellence in most roles. First, excellent people tend to have bigger variance and second, most jobs just don't require being that good. I imagine that in today's Apple, there's no way Jony Ive would be as influential. And maybe that's just how things go: The types of people who can innovate and change things are dissatisfied with the status quo. But once you ARE the status quo, you seek precisely the people who want to maintain it.
