2 letras de Steve Jobs: OK
Siempre es interesante leer alguna nueva nota sobre la concisa forma de Steve Jobs de responder emails. En esta historia David Gelphman, miembro de Apple, nos cuenta la respuesta de Jobs a una inusual petición.
En marzo del 2010 un empleado de Apple pidió vía email a Steve Jobs la autorización para llevar y mostrar el iPad que le habían asignado en la empresa, aún no lanzado públicamente para entonces, para mostrarlo a una amiga que estaba a punto de fallecer de una enfermedad al hígado.

To: Steve Jobs <[email protected]>Hi,
Today (Tuesday) I’m visiting a terminally ill friend in the hospital in San Francisco. I’ve been told that she will likely not survive until this Friday. She had a liver transplant in late February and we all had high hopes but unfortunately she has not recovered.
Apple has given me carry permission for the [REDACTED] software for the iPad and I take Apple’s security very seriously. I was hoping to get permission from you to show her photos on the iPad even though it is not due to be released until April 3rd. Under normal circumstances I would not make such a request, nor would I expect that such a request might possibly be granted.
Thank you for considering this request.
David Gelphman

Jobs era conocido no sólo por responder de forma rápida y concisa los emails de los miembros de su empresa, sino también aquellos que recibía de personas “comunes”.
