Tim Cook: One Year Later
Bloomberg Businessweek has a long interview of Apple's CEO Tim Cook available today. There are a lot of things we've heard before, but also some great new nuggets of information. Read the whole story. A couple things popped out at me.
So each of those product lines has a great future by themselves, but obviously we also talk about what else we can do. We always have. And we’ll argue, debate, and collaborate. And I mean argue and debate in the greatest sense of the words because they—you know, I never wanted to remove that. It’s a great culture. And it’s clear that we can do more. At the right time, we’ll keep disrupting and keep discovering new things that people didn’t know they wanted.
That's music to any fan of Apple.
All of the people around the table have been there for a while, and they’ve lived through different cycles. So they have a maturity, but they still have their boldness. They’re still ready to burn the bridge. And this is great. Because there is no other company like that anymore. I mean, no company would have done what we did this year. Think about it. We changed the vast majority.... Who else is doing this? Eighty percent of our revenues are from products that didn’t exist 60 days ago. Is there any other company that would do that?
That's really crazy. And this isn't a start up company we're talking about. This is the largest company in the world by market cap.
