One Sunday morning, January 6th, 2008 I was attending religious services
when my cell phone vibrated. As discreetly as possible, I checked the phone
and noticed that my phone said "Caller ID unknown". I choose to ignore.
After services, as I was walking to my car with my family, I checked my cell
phone messages. The message left was from Steve Jobs. "Vic, can you call me
at home? I have something urgent to discuss" it said.
Before I even reached my car, I called Steve Jobs back. I was responsible
for all mobile applications at Google, and in that role, had regular
dealings with Steve. It was one of the perks of the job.
"Hey Steve - this is Vic", I said. "I'm sorry I didn't answer your call
earlier. I was in religious services, and the caller ID said unknown, so I
didn't pick up".
Steve laughed. He said, "Vic, unless the Caller ID said 'GOD', you should
never pick up during services".
I laughed nervously. After all, while it was customary for Steve to call
during the week upset about something, it was unusual for him to call me on
Sunday and ask me to call his home. I wondered what was so important?
"So Vic, we have an urgent issue, one that I need addressed right away. I've
already assigned someone from my team to help you, and I hope you can fix
this tomorrow" said Steve.
"I've been looking at the Google logo on the iPhone and I'm not happy with
the icon. The second O in Google doesn't have the right yellow gradient. It'
s just wrong and I'm going to have Greg fix it tomorrow. Is that okay with
you?"
Of course this was okay with me. A few minutes later on that Sunday I
received an email from Steve with the subject "Icon Ambulance". The email
directed me to work with Greg Christie to fix the icon.
Since I was 11 years old and fell in love with an Apple II, I have dozens of
stories to tell about Apple products. They have been a part of my life for
decades. Even when I worked for 15 years for Bill Gates at Microsoft, I had
a huge admiration for Steve and what Apple had produced.
But in the end, when I think about leadership, passion and attention to
detail, I think back to the call I received from Steve Jobs on a Sunday
morning in January. It was a lesson I'll never forget. CEOs should care
about details. Even shades of yellow. On a Sunday.
To one of the greatest leaders I've ever met, my prayers and hopes are with
you Steve.

pretty funny. Some people are just into details, or certain kind of details.
Steve is definitely a perfectionist at certain aspect. But I don't think
that's what made him successful.
