An 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.
