I found this statement in the article to be the key of managing.
"He basically explained nicely that my job was to do the things that Mark (Zuckerberg) did not want to focus on as much."
I believe it is something Cook and other CEOs follow too. Find a person to do the things that you don't want to focus on as much.
If No.2's job is to do things No. 1 doesn't want to do, No. 1's job is to find No. 2's who wants to do the job No. 1 doesn't want to do and give that person autonomy.
I agree Cook not leading planned feature meeting but he should have someone who wants to lead that meeting and be responsible for driving that part of the business.
