Managers live and die by their recruitment.
Read, but not to remember everything. Read because that 1% that you remember has the potential to change your life.
Apple's Industrial Design team is harder to get into than the Illuminati, and part of the reason is because no one leaves. In the last 15 years, not one of the 18 designers has ditched Apple for greener pastures.
