I've long been an Apple watcher and an admirer of Steve Jobs. His hand-picked successor, Tim Cook, hasn't been as well known. Business Week magazine just published an in-depth interview with Tim that gives some real insight into Apple's amazing success and innovation. I found it a fascinating read. Here is a link: www.businessweek.com/articles/2012-12-06/tim-cooks-freshman-year-the-apple-ceo-speaks#p1Here is just one excerpt to whet your appetite. It gives insight into how Apple is different from so many large corporations. Tim says: "And there can’t be politics. I despise politics. There is no room for it in a company. My life is going to be way too short to deal with that. No bureaucracy. We want this fast-moving, agile company where there are no politics, no agendas. When you do that, things become pretty simple. You don’t have all of these distractions. You don’t have all of these things that companies generally worry about. You don’t have silos built up where everybody is trying to optimize their silo and figuring out how to grab turf and all of these things.
