Plus A players have a tendency to care a lot more about their own knowledge that it allowed Steve Jobs to yell at them to improve their efficiency.
If Jobs yelled at a typical B player or corporate drone, they would just take it and go on and maybe sit at the bar wallowing in their sorrows.
With A players, Jobs would tap into their insecurity that they might not be smart enough causing them to want to learn more to close that insecurity which then allows then to produce a better product. Their fear that they may not be smart enough would cause them to become even smarter.
Jobs needed A players otherwise his "motivational techniques" would fall flat.
