Tim Cook Recalls Steve Jobs’ Advice on Leadership Before Apple CEO Transition
Tim Cook shared that before handing over Apple’s CEO role, Steve Jobs advised him to 'never ask what I would do, just do the right thing,' encouraging independent leadership. Jobs wanted to avoid Apple becoming stuck in trying to replicate his style, drawing from his observation of Disney’s struggles after Walt Disney’s death. Cook, who succeeded Jobs in 2011, has since led Apple with a focus on innovation and operational discipline, shaping the company’s future while honoring its legacy.
