Jobs and now Ive? I seriously hope Cook is not alone in maintaining Apple at the forefront. Jobs understands the customer the best, Ive knows how to design the best, and Cook can deliver that solution most efficiently in such a complex ecosystem. Without the triumvirate, Apple will have a tough time outmatching the competition, product to product.
I highly doubt Ive is just going to walk away with Apple thinking they don't need him.
- angstrom 16y agoAn enormous failing if these 3 are islands unto themselves with no cultivation of successors. In all this time have they really been the visionaries with no bright stars beneath them? I find it hard to fathom that they haven't imbued the same leadership and attitudes within their support structure.
- orky56 16y agoSuccessors? People have been prescribing for years now that Jobs is Apple. Only recently have people understood it is Jobs plus two. The successor to Jobs is Cook (pretty likely). So they have thought about succession on that end. Obviously, Apple does have other people to take the main positions but they haven't been in the spotlight yet enough for us to take notice of them.
