Wha..? Where would one go to read or hear these speeches?
- SapphireSun 18y agoJobs gave an address to Stanford university's graduating class in 2005. Here's a link to youtube if you want to watch it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1R-jKKp3NA It was quite interesting and spoke deeply to me.
- jim-greer 18y agoHe covered his health in that speech, but according to this CNN piece he was pretty misleading. http://money.cnn.com/2008/03/02/news/companies/elkind_jobs.fortune/index4.htm http://money.cnn.com/2008/03/02/news/companies/elkind_jobs.f... (Scroll about 1/4 of the way down) If he's going to talk about his health, he should be more straightforward than this. I think once you're the CEO of a Fortune 500 company, your responsibilities to your shareholders mean that you need to be more forthcoming about your health than he has been.
- redrobot5050 18y agoNo, you need to be more forthcoming with your board of directors, some of which (Al Gore) are close personal friends and can keep their mouth shut to the press if it really is a "private matter". The fact that Apple's board hadn't take any action was (to me) a clear indication that he was A-Ok. Steve might be exceptional, but the rest of the senior management has Sarbanes-Oxley to contend with -- meaning they could face jailtime for any intentional falsification or misleading statements given to the board of directors. And the board/stockholders have been extremely watchful ever since the backdating options/SEC Probe scandal a year or so back.
