The only way Apple can succeed without Jobs, is if they find another super productive sociopath perfectionist with a 1 in a million sense of design. A sugar water executive won't do.
- henning 18y agoWhat about promoting Jonathan Ive (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Ive http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Ive)? He definitely has good design sense. I don't know about the maniacal sociopath perfectionist bit, though.
- unalone 18y agoHe's a damn good designer, but he's not a social designer. I figure Apple wants another performer to step up to the lead when Jobs is gone. Besides, Ive is good exactly where he is. He's doing what he does best. A promotion would make no sense.
- michaelneale 18y agoIt could end up being like google where there are 2 or 3 with complementary skills that lead. Ive would probably be one of them.
- unalone 18y agoPossibly - but I doubt it. Different mindsets. Apple is all about focus. They hone in on little bitty details that require a single mind's perfectionist worldview. No compromises. And I can't think of any multi-man team that focuses that much, excepting the Coen brothers. Google doesn't need airtight focus. Apple does.
