"How to build the best executive team?"

Ben Horowitz, co-founder of Andreessen Horowitz, a famous American investment company, recently posted a blog saying that as CEO of a company, your first priority is to make sure you have a first-class executive team.

But just as an athlete cannot stay in the top position for a long time, corporate executives cannot always do their best. Athletes are influenced by age, and executives do not have a big impact on this, but the technology industry changes so much that many executives become uncomfortable.

For how to build a top-class executive team, Ben Horowitz that two points are critical: setting standards for hiring and maintaining loyalty to employees.

In terms of recruiting standards, Ben Horowitz three suggestions:

1, you do not fully understand him when hiring an executive, so as the work unfolds and your understanding of him, you can improve his requirements;

2, you have to leverage the principle. It's normal to start with a certain amount of training for an executive, but if you find yourself still busy at the top of the executive, it proves that the executive is not doing his job.

3, as CEO of the company, you don't have much time to train the people who report to you. The person who reports to you must have strong executive power and should have strong working ability when you come to your company, if you think an executive needs training, it may be that he is not up to standard.

In maintaining loyalty to the staff, Ben Horowitz that when an executive is unable to do his job, it is an inevitable choice to drive away.

Because technology companies are changing very quickly, you can be good at recruiting a senior executive, but a year later, the company may double, and the business may expand 10 times times, which means the executive is doing something completely different. Or that the executive is already doing a new job. And he may not be up to the new job.

At this point, you should think about your employees because they need someone who is good enough to manage them. This should be the most important.

"Apple will do iwatch six reasons"

Rumors that Apple will launch the iwatch have intensified since the three weeks ago. Bloomberg recently conducted a survey of the rumors and concluded that Apple is likely to launch a iwatch this year. Here are six reasons Bloomberg thinks Apple will launch iwatch:

1, watch is a big business. Sales of the global watch industry could reach $60 billion trillion in 2013.

2, the watch industry profits quite abundant. The profit margin of the watch industry can usually reach 60%, which is exactly what Apple likes.

3, watches are more attractive than television. The profit rate of the watch is four times times that of TV.

4, Apple is very interested in watches. 79 of Apple's patents include the word "wrist".

5, Ive is particularly interested in watches. The Apple chief designer had a lot of high-end watches and bought a box of sports watches on a visit to Nike.

6, the time is right. In 2003, Microsoft and watch maker Fossil's smartphone program failed, but now users are adapting to smart-phone apps.

By the end of 2013, conservative estimates of mobile apps will reach 56 billion, and the number of tablet applications will reach 14 billion, according to a report published by ABI Research, a study institute. Interestingly, however, ABI found Android to be far more mobile apps than iOS, while iOS is far more than Android on tablet apps.

ABI study estimates that 58% of the decline in mobile apps in 2013 will come from android,33% from IOS, while Windows Phone and BlackBerry systems are 4% and 3% respectively. For other mobile operating systems, such as the newly launched Firefox Os,abi, the new-found is simply not worth mentioning.

For tablet applications, ABI estimates that 75% will come from ipad,17% from Android devices other than the Kindle Fire, 4% from Android and 2% from Windows Phone tablet. The BlackBerry's Playbook and other tablets are also negligible.
