喬布斯建立起了一支新的管理團隊，爭議更少，服從更多。

Even though there was a surface sameness to his top team
雖然這一頂級管理團隊的成員看似一樣：
all were middle-aged white males -- there was a range of styles.
都是中年白人男性，但他們風格各異。
Ive was emotional and expressive; Cook was as cool as steel.
艾弗情緒化，富有表現力；庫克如鋼鐵般冷靜。
They all knew they were expected to be deferential to Jobs while also pushing back on his ideas and being willing to argue
他們都知道自己應該對喬布斯恭敬有加，但同時也需要反駁他的想法并樂于與之爭論，
a tricky balance to maintain, but each did it well.
這個平衡很難拿捏，不過他們都做得很好。
"I realized very early that if you didn't voice your opinion, he would mow you down," said Cook.
庫克說：“我很早就意識到，如果你不說出自己的意見，他就會把你趕走。
"He takes contrary positions to create more discussion, because it may lead to a better result.
他會采取對立的立場以激發更多討論，因為這樣做可能會帶來更好的結果。
So if you don't feel comfortable disagreeing, then you'll never survive."
因此，如果你不習慣反對他的想法，那么就無法在蘋果待下去。”
