Steve Jobs interviewed 20 people to be CEO of Apple and disliked them all - here's the unconventional way John Sculley wowed him and snagged the offer
[sculley and jobs]AP When Steve Jobs was in his late 20s, he was hunting for a CEO to run the company he co-founded, Apple. Apple's board told Jobs he needed adult supervision, but that he could sign off on whoever they hired. Jobs and the board went through about 20 candidates, most in the tech sector, but Jobs vetoed them all. Finally, he met John Sculley, who had risen to become Pepsi's CEO in just ten years. He also had a reputation for being a marketing master, having helped create the "Pepsi Challenge" campaign that sparked the Cola Wars of the 1970s. Sculley recalled meeting Jobs for the first time, in 1982, during an interview for Business Insider's podcast, "Success! How I Did It": "When I got to Apple, I wasn't even sure I was in the right place because there were no commercial buildings around, it was just houses and a few tilt-up structures," Sculley said. "It turned out that Steve was upstairs on the second floor of a converted house...The building where Steve was building the Macintosh — it was still over a year away from being introduced — had a pirate flag flying from the flagpole on top of the building, a one-story building. When I went in, there were motorcycles and a Bösendorfer piano, which is one of the highest-end pianos, because Steve loved beautifully designed products." When he met Jobs though, Sculley's strategy wasn't to flatter the young founder. It was almost the opposite. Here's the relevant part of the interview: SHONTELL: So you meet him and at this point, he's turned down every other CEO option in tech and he's gone outside of tech now to find you. How did you win him over? What was that first meeting like? How did you not blow it like all the other guys did? SCULLEY: I decided to talk to him about things that I knew he knew nothing about. SHONTELL: So you made him feel dumb? SCULLEY: No. I wanted him to realize that he didn't have all the answers. So I took him to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and I took him through the Greek sculpture and showed him what Praxiteles did with the Praxitelean curve. I showed him how the Parthenon was designed and the mathematics used behind it, and I started teaching him about all these things that he had never been exposed to before. And I think it was, in hindsight, a good way for us to talk to each other. Let's get to know each other on a subject that I thought I could spark his curiosity and something he didn't know anything about. SHONTELL: And it worked. SCULLEY: It worked. Five months later, Jobs offered Sculley the job. Sculley initially turned it down, but then Jobs fed him the now-famous line that changed his mind: "Do you want to sell sugar water for the rest of your life? Or, do you want to come with me and change the world?" The following Monday, Sculley started as CEO of Apple. To listen to Sculley's rapid career rise and his role at Apple, check out the full podcast episode, below, or read the transcript here: Subscribe to "Success! How I Did It" on Acast or iTunes.

Deputy Foreign Minister T. Quick opens the proceedings of the 4th Regular Conference of the World Council of Epirotes Abroad
In Preveza today, Deputy Foreign Minister Terens Quick declared the opening of the proceedings of the 4th Regular Conference of the World Council of Epirotes Abroad (WCEA). "As Epirotes, you are a model for how overseas Hellenism should be organized and operate on the global and local level. You have a World Council that you organized and elected on your own –without the involvement of Greece or the Greek government– through self-organized councils that you have already elected on state and regional level. Leading the overseas Epirotes are young and successful people like the current president, Chrysostomos Dimou. This is the "new blood" that is being promoted –unselfishly, without trying to hang on to leadership positions indefinitely– by the Epirotes of the previous generation; patriots with maturity and wisdom. And how could things be different when you, the Epirotes, produced dozens of national benefactors who contributed to the creation and establishment of the modern Greek state following the Revolution of 1821. There were benefactors who forwent marriage, had no children, because Greece itself was their mother, spouse, sister and daughter." With these words, Deputy Foreign Minister Terens Quick opened the proceedings of the three-day 4th Regular Conference of the World Council of Epirotes Abroad, which is taking place this weekend in Preveza. In his address, Mr. Quick referred to the recommendations put forward by the president of the WCEA, Chrysostomos Dimou, who, in his introductory remarks, reiterated his firm positions on the conditions for the relaunching of the new, self-organized and self-funded World Council of Hellenes Abroad (SAE) and made clarifications –based on recent statements from the Secretary General of the Ministry of the Interior, Kostas Poulakis– on issues related to the vote for overseas Greeks. "I am pleased that you are pursuing the issue of the vote with the current government. It is an issue that, for at least three decades now – maybe four – could have been resolved by all of the previous governments, by all of the parties that governed previously and failed to resolve the issue. There was a law that could have been voted through by Parliament in 2008-2009, when the Minister of the Interior at the time, the current President of the Republic, Prokopis Pavlopoulos, submitted it, but was 'torpedoed' by certain parties the night before the vote. But no one mentions that. What matters now is that the issue of the vote is among the 17 'steps' before the Special Permanent Committee on Greeks Abroad of the Hellenic Parliament and has been slated for resolution by the Foreign Ministry during the Syriza-ANEL government," Mr. Quick noted, setting out his position on the issue in question.
