The success at Apple has little to do with Tim Cook and if he was replaced with one of those unsuccessful CEOs they wouldn't lose a beat. Is he worth 1,400x?

Is he worth 1,400x? Let's rephase this...
You can have 1,400 Apple employees or Tim Cook.. I would rather have those employees. But maybe Tim can do the work of 1400

- ipaddr 5y agoYou mean the guy who pushed Steve Jobs out or Steve Jobs himself? Getting rid of the founder has huge issues but getting rid of the other CEO happened too late.
- gremlinsinc 5y agowas that before or after they rose from the iphone/ipad era? Apple of 2020 and even 2010 is much different from Apple of 2000 or 1995.
- davidjytang 5y agoApple has 154,000 employees. 1) Let's say we rid Cook and add 1,400 more employees, we would arrive at an Apple with 155,399 employees and no Cook. 2) Let's say we rid 1,400 employees and get another Cook. We would arrive at an Apple with 152,601 employees including an additional Cook. I would argue Apple in either 1) or 2) would have similar outcome for another decade. However 1) would likely support more families. I like 1).
