Why Tim Cook Is Steve Ballmer and Why He Still Has His Job at Apple (2016)
- zepto 6y agoSeems like this was just wrong. Bill gates was never really that visionary about products, but was a great businessman. Ballmer was neither. Steve Jobs was a visionary in many ways, one of which was to understand that the company needed to become a machine that could outlive him not merely by appointing Tim Cook. He spoke about this at various times. He said his finest product was apple itself. I’m not saying they won’t fail, but I am saying that Jobs was aware of the problem and intentionally built the company to function without a line visionary CEO.
