Abstract

The article focuses on Tim Cook's journey to becoming the CEO of Apple and the leadership lessons he learned from co-founder Steve Jobs. Cook, who joined Apple in 1998 when the company was struggling, credits Jobs with teaching him the value of adaptability and open debate in leadership. Under Cook's leadership, Apple has seen significant growth, with its market capitalization increasing from $364.4 billion in 2011 to $3.55 trillion by October 2024. However, 2024 has presented challenges, including layoffs and declining iPhone sales, prompting Cook to reflect on his unexpected rise from humble beginnings to leading a major tech company.
