So you think a leader that knows everything and ignores any new information would be better? How would that be better?
The quote from the article seems entirely in line with what I want out of a leader
> Cue said that he felt his ability to hire good people — and learn from them — was a factor in his success.
> "What I try to do is is to create an environment where they can excel," Cue said. "They're generally the experts at what they're doing,and then I'm there to help."
- talldayo 2y agoI think he should be more candid and acknowledge that a lot of the problems with Apple services are self-imposed. It's hard for me to believe that he's still "learning" about new solutions to a problem he in large part helped architect.
- upon_drumhead 2y agoI don't understand the wider point you are trying to make. What problems are you prescribing to Cue? I use Apple stuff and generally enjoy the experience but don't really follow their news closely, so I might be missing something critical here.
- musicale 2y agoThe largest problems I see are that Apple's wildly successful, walled-garden iPhone achieved market power that led to regulatory interest, and that Apple's arrogance and contempt for regulators subsequently incurred their intense ire. Eddy Cue's self-inflicted problem is leveraging the iOS platform to promote Apple services while creating barriers for competitors. Good for his own position in Apple and for Apple's bottom line, but irritating to users (my pet peeve is pushing unwanted advertisements in Settings and elsewhere in iOS) and something that incurs regulatory/anti-trust scrutiny.
