Tim Cook is the most important leader on the planet and we are not talking here only about IT companies, but about the leaders of the free world, those from Forbes publishing today the annual top of the most important leaders on the globe, Tim Cook outranking the presidents of the European Central Bank , the president of China or the Pope. Perhaps the choice of Forbes seemed absurd, but Tim Cook proved to be the right man to replace Steve Jobs, the Apple company enjoying enormous growth under his leadership and products that continued to set sales records.
The company's impressive revenues Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),, the enormous profit, the continuously growing sales and the popularity of Apple or him Tim Cook they helped him the CEO of the company to win the first position, he being a "natural" choice in front of such important achievements, surpassing much stronger leaders from all over the world. If the choice still seems strange to you, then you can introduce the famous singer Taylor Swift in the top will convince you that we are talking here only about achievements and popularity, not necessarily about the strength of the candidates, Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos also being listed in the top 50.
There is no true preparation for replacing a legend, but that's what Tim Cook had to do three-and-a-half years ago following the death of Steve Jobs. Cook has led Apple so strongly, including in some surprising directions, that he has earned the No. 1 spot on Fortune's list of the World's Greatest Leaders.
Giving an interview to Forbes, Tim Cook claims that he never tried to be the next Steve Jobs, he did not try to replace him and that he ignored the criticism of most people to focus on doing what he knows best, make the right decisions to increase Apple's sales and popularity. His statements are also supported by the SVP Eddy Cue, Tim Cook being mainly the man who tried to make a name for himself in the shadow of the great Steve Jobs and so far it seems that he managed to do everything he set out to do.
I thought I was reasonable at that before, but I've had to become great at it. I'm not running for office. I don't need your vote. I have to feel myself doing what's right. If I'm the arbiter of that instead of letting the guy on TV be that. or someone who doesn't know me at all, then I think that's a much better way to live.
