In the letter, Tim Cook praised Apple employees as the true\narchitects of his success, noting that they had brought out the best in\nthe 65-year-old executive. \u201cTo be honest, whatever is said regarding my\nsuccess, I know it is all because of you. You brought out the best in\nme. In all my life, I have never seen or been part of such an\nextraordinary team, and every day I see more examples of this,\u201d Cook\nstated in his letter, as reported by TechCrunch.<\/p>\n
He remarked that the culture established at Apple serves as proof\nthat anything is achievable. He also expressed his belief that\nopportunity and responsibility can make the world a better place.<\/p>\n
Tim Cook clarified that he is not leaving Apple entirely; he is\nmerely stepping down from the CEO position to serve as executive\nchairman. \u201cAs you know, I am not leaving Apple, but I am stepping away\nfrom a role that I love dearly. I will miss this job more than I can\nimagine,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
In his new role as executive chairman, he will focus on managing\npolitical relations.<\/p>\n
In the letter, Cook also mentioned John Ternus, who will succeed him\nas CEO. He described Ternus as one of the few individuals who\nunderstands how to build products capable of changing the world.<\/p>\n
\u201cI will miss leading and being with you at every step, though I am\nvery comfortable handing over control to someone as brilliant,\nextraordinary, and capable as John,\u201d he wrote. \u201cVery few people\nunderstand what is needed to build products that change the world like\nJohn does, and I am excited about his leadership,\u201d he added.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/tim-cooks-final-words-before-stepping-down-as-apple-ceo-1788346893", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
