The hardest post-Jobs question will not be "what would Steve do?" but rather "who would Steve hire?"
The team Jobs has assembled that built the past decade of Apple knows and shares his vision for products. The real test will be retaining the culture through turnover.
- DLWormwood 16y agoThe problem with asking “Who would Steve hire?” is that the last time Steve picked a CEO, he brought in John Sculley to Apple, with his famous “sell soft drinks or change the world” pitch. And look at how that turned out… True, Jobs has wizened up since then, but he also hasn’t been tested with a true replacement assignment since. (There is no obvious “heir apparent” in Apple at this time, AFAIK.)
- JacobAldridge 16y ago"True, Jobs has wizened up since then" Not sure if that was a fruedian typo, but it made me laugh. wizened - shrivelled or wrinkled with age wised - become aware of or informed about something
