When Steve Jobs resigned as Apple’s CEO in August 2011, he handpicked Tim Cook as his successor. Cook had been with the company since 1998, and earned the reputation of being an operations mastermind. Dramatically Apple’s reducing on-hand inventory and delivering products to customers faster using a technique called just-in-time manufacturing. But his greatest work has been performed over the past decade as CEO. When Apple’s popularity and growth exploded in a way almost no one expected. This has led many people to wonder about the man behind the machine: Tim Cook. And what he does on a daily basis to stay at the top of his game. So in this video, we’re going to take a peak behind Apple’s curtain, and find out what a day in the life of Tim Cook is really like.
I ran into him at an Apple Store one time! I asked him if he could give me one piece of advice and he said “live your life in the service of others and happiness will find you.” He was a nice guy
/r/thathappened
and then everyone stand up and clap
@@sergeantmacnuggets1132 just one clap
He really serves those happy factory kids in china
@@kylevebar3909 every major company does that with child labor
I worked at Apple for 4 years after graduation and can confirm that Tim Cook does indeed sit down at random tables during lunch. What they don't tell you is just how awkward it is haha Still, we appreciated it.
What was your Apple interview experience? What kind of questions were asked?
@@DebarunLahiri I was asked ten questions, then ten more, and later answered one wrong so I was asked twenty more quesitons.
@@JohnDoe-gy5dr and later on interviewer will say "next"
@Asdf Lkjh I'm afraid I can't answer any more questions.
How do you deal with this situation? Is it possible to continue eating, when he sits down next to you? Does he know you and your position in the company?
Tim: why are you still here? The guy: Just to suffer? 👀
Ha ha ha !!!!
Hahahahaa
timmy: why are you still here? guy with a cocks: why are YOU still here?
Tim Cook changed Apple from a renovation driven company to a revenue driven company. Nothing wrong with it, it is just we don't see how Apple changes the world like when Steve Jobs was there.
M1..?
Innovation you mean, not renovation 😅
@@d0cx Tim Cook never invented the m1 chip
@@chi-chiehhuang4376he used it for poetic license effect maybe, cause it sounds and sits better with latter words
Tim is very underrated by public because of his high privacy and not being same frontman as Steve but it was best decision he made.
why is that?
What underrated bro, he's the CEO of the biggest company on the face of earth
@@tejasdeshpande In terms of revenue, Apple is the biggest company in the world. But in terms like Assets, operations and people, it’s not.
Greedy AF
surely he is liked by shareholders
Tim Cook wakes up at 3:45 AM? That's what time I go to bed. I really need to do better LOL
Oof
@@wesleychen272 It's right now 3.35am in India while I'm watching this video😂...I too have to think of doing better😂
I usually wake up at 6-7AM. And I was proud of myself for waking up so early all the time.
Right now its 22:27 (10:27)
He went to bed at 8:45 PM that sounds even crazier to me.
There are a million ways you can communicate a message to an employee. I don’t know why people consider being an asshole as an aspirational quality for a CEO. It propagates toxic culture in the workplace as it trickles down. No disrespect to Tim, from all of his interviews he seems like a very humble guy.
Because most people have never worked in this type of environment, and yeah it can be toxic and demoralizing. People will cheer what they don't understand.
I asked myself that question many times. When I joined a startup it had a very nice CEO. Unfortunately that company never really went anywhere, so maybe it's that certain level "assholeness" that is required to whip eployees in line to do great things. When you look at all the huge CEOs, Jobs, Musk, Bezos, Ellison, Page, Zuckerberg, they're all known to be somewhat aggressive and choleric behind closed doors at least. Maybe it doesn't work to just be nice and encouraging.
@@Chris-cv5qs agreed.
@@Chris-cv5qs Why, work under such stress? Life too short.
@@FidelCastro128 Very true.

tim: wakes up at 3:45am everyone else: sleeping at 3:45am
i start my day at 4 am. but i sleep at like 10
no, i fall asleep at 3:45
With this knowledge I’d be randomly thinking halfway around the world: “Oh, Tim cook is probably asleep now..” “Oh Timmy must be terrorising unprepared staff right now.”
No it is not.
Tim: goes to bed at 8:45 Everyone else: movie at 8:45
I should have stopped watching when he said Tim wakes up at 3:45 am. But on a serious note, working long hours has been over glorified, much to the detriment of society. A balanced, healthy life is what is important.
They don't see work as work like we do. It's their baby and love doing what they do

Wow how could you have doubted making this one, one of the best actually:-) Please more of these ones!! Love your vids, Great job, love and light from Europe 💞
Apple is doubling down on privacy because of Tim Cook. I applaud him for doing that. The search history tracking, app usage, location history, voice command history, and viewing habits information selling thing is driving me nuts. I'm glad that the next version of iOS will have a prompt to let you say no to tracking. This is why I don't want an Echo or a Google Home, or even connect a smart tv to Wifi because of that and I also run an ad blocker on my web browser to stop that tracking. I do want personalized content and continuous improvement of voice recognition but, I do not want personalized ads.
I’m dissapointed that this video was so short
Same... Greg plz make another video
Yeah for real. Like it glossed over what he does for lunch or dinner, if he spends 12 hours in the office, you got to eat lunch right? Where does that time go? I feel like I got pre-approved Apple tease
That’s why I’m watching it
Yeah...
the video was short because just like apple no-one knows about Tim Cook too much either.
When I entered college, I had a VERY strict teacher. The first few months were excruciating and hard, constant tension before class, a huge backlog and many retakes. But after a while everything got better. I gradually reached the level of knowledge that was required and in some places exceeded it. The bottom line was that everyone in the group worked (even those who did not even come to other classes). Now she no longer teaches with me and many people miss her. The most important thing is that she is a very cool and pleasant person who seemed to many to be a dictator. It is possible with general detectors of companies also))
As a society I do not understand why we are so impressed by people who work so much, to me success is doing well in my career but being a GREAT spouse and father. As has been said many times, nobody on their deathbed wishes they worked more.
Rightly said
Speak for yourself my friend, throughout human history, men like him have built the world you are living in. Good thing not everyone is the same in their thoughts and actions, people are the way they are
He now scares me more than Steve Jobs...
“next”
@@siinxkj oh my god when I heard he takes meetings like that....... I would have an entire panic attack before, during, and after ANY meeting with him

@@DiZZiEntertainment then you realize people work at Apple..... And I realized that I want to work at Apple.....

@Lina Kuznetsov yeah
Same here
Wow. I never envisioned him being such a savage in staffer meetings, haha. Didn’t see that coming.
Awesome video, Tim Cook is a great leader/ visionary… especially given he is rarely in the limelight which is exactly how leaders should lead, privately… meanwhile thanks to Cook my Apple stock keeps going up!
Too many people today want fame, and it makes me wonder why.
Tim seems like a great guy on the surface but a rough person to work for just as Steve Jobs was. Even if he expects the best employees the stress and expectations seem like it would be tough on many.
@sukadik Please stop spamming
I graduated from the same university as Tim Cook. The guy is a genius
sadly apple under him is boring
Which university?
@@tjstech5544 google it
@@superior7387 LOL, no.
I like Tim Cook a lot. He is competent and has a relaxed energy, but works hard and has high standards. He deserves so much credit for all of Apple’s win. I hope to be like him one day!
I think he’s pretty disciplined so I respect him but his high standards are definitely a negative. What kind of human would make a person go to china immediately and tell them so disrespectfully - “Why are you still here?” And he didn’t even care for there family or something After this I don’t ever want to work with Apple, hopefully things change in the future in terms how they treat ppl
@@risingOnIP that's how things work in corporate, it's not a daycare. He made his employee to china, not fired him. Seeing how successful is this company means he's doing everything right, but it's not understandable but people who never were even close to that position.
@@maarulavv you can’t give credit to the success of Apple to Tim Cook lol, first off that’s Steve Jobs who pioneered the vision, and then it was engineers and ctoswho mostly designed products. Even still, right now Apple is just adding a camera per iPhone….
@@risingOnIP right now Apple is earning more money each year without Jobs. So yeah, this success is due to Cook leadership.
You'll receive a lot of crap from those who are less motivated than you. You have to be flexible to a point.
Really great and informative video! I'm fascinated by Tim Cook and his seemingly ease of running such a big and important company. He is also definitely #goals when it comes to things like morning routine and consistent exercise! One thing that you didn't mention, which isn't really necessary, but people probably wonder: is that he's quite a lone wolf and is single. Not completely unusual, as I'm sure there are other CEOs and high-powered people that are single, but I also find that interesting.
Many people underestimate Cook’s skills. It is true he is not even close to Job’s creativity and innovation in products, but “Master” falls short to describe his contributions in the logistics side. He also played a key role in Apple revival, so, he really deserves the position as CEO.
Jobs created nothing though... he was purely a business man not a creative. Decent visions in things. But with every success there are a dozen failures that prelude such. Almost every bit of tech apple brought to the market was already created and bought.
@@christopherfortney2544 Steve jobs was a great salesperson and advertiser. Also great at asking people to do things and combining them
@@christopherfortney2544 you don’t know what you’re talking about. Steve Jobs created the modern smartphone. He didn’t build it with his hands but he is the one that had a vision for the iPhone and he put it in motion. And more then a decade later every single phone released today is based on his creation.

IT TAKES 21 DAYS TO BUILD A HABIT, it can be done.
It can definitely be done, you can find videos of other youtubers trying unusual lifestyles like this for a month or two and it’s possible. It just takes a lot of discipline because let’s face it if you went to bed at 8:45 every day you’d have very little social life
@@CimotaTJ circadian rhythm is a biological phenomenon. It effects your sleep, emotions and many more things. It's better not to mess around with it.

Tim Cook traits as CEO: - he takes care of his physical and psychological health. - he cares about his company and is straightforward to his executives. - he cares about his employees and his consumers.
He cares so much about the customers, that he keeps taking away the accessories that come with buying an IPhone so that the costumers have a choice on what got damn earphones or charges they are going to have to buy separately 😌

It’s already hard enough for me to get up at 6:30 AM it be even worse for me to get up at 3:45 AM my favorite things to eat for breakfast or donuts and pop tarts that is definitely something that I would never do that early in the morning are used to get up at 5:30 so on the weekends I get up at 4 AM and that is only to watch videos I am also totally blind so I get my days and nights mixed up but it is only when I unlock my iPad that I realize I just woke up at 5 AM or sometimes earlier mostly for and I will just put my headset in and watch my videos usually until 10

Thank you for creating these awesome videos for us ❤️
Thank you for making this video it was certainly very very helpful and I cannot explain it enough
Reads emails from 3:45 am for an hour. Then eats a large breakfast consisting of eggs, bacon and more stuff. Works out for an hour starting at 5 am. So within 15 minutes he goes from smashing down a large breakfast to working out. Either he is some kind of robot human or this information is quite exaggerated
You’d think the order of those two items should be reversed.
Large breakfast? You gotta be kidding
@@michaelsen891 Okay, average sized breakfast. That completely discredits and disreputes my original observations. Within a 15 minute window he begins, and completes, eating the breakfast. Therefore, saying it takes him 10 minutes to eat it, that leaves 5 minutes after eating in which he begins working out. So whether it be a large or an average sized meal, most will agree my original pronouncement to be reasonably fair.
Yes, and also don’t forget that he still needs to get to the gym, which is located _outside_ of Apple Park.
@@CarbideEndMill there's a commute
Wow, in the Marine Corps I have to wake up at 4, I can see how Tim gets a lot of work done
He's also sleeping by 9 pm, I'm up for 4 more hours working while he's sleeping.
@@CalvinJary Productivity levels at 9pm onwards for a fortune 500 CEO will be much lower than at 4am. As a peasant, it's probably hard to understand
It is also the time slot to talk with Europe
Unless I have an early watch, I never wake up that early. Muster for morning quarters in the Navy is typically at 0700. So when you say "we", speak for yourself.
Anyone can get work done at anytime.. go to bed at 8p to wake up 3am is same as go to bed at 2am to wake up 9am.. You people can’t think right when some of status does same thing an average person does.

OMG I saw Tim Cook's breakfast dish... and I was so surprised, he doesn't eat antelope steak at breakfast but eggs. Isn't this humble and sweet? The other surprise was that he is reading all our user e-mails already at 4 AM. I have to close my comment and I will start immediately writing to him, wishing him a nice morning.

Great stuff Greg! Tim Cook is actually a great CEO. BTW I thought I spend a lot of time at work.. I was sooooo wrong!:)
I will concede the obvious in that CEOs are the absolute paragon of hard working in any organization and Tim should not be any different from that but I’d really have to question where apple insider got their information from. My second concession is that I never really liked Tim Cook partly because of blind loyalty to Steve Jobs but this video really opened my eyes as I did not know Steve personally chose Tim to be his successor and Jobs has been known to have the highest of standards of his employees. Tim has also been with the company almost since the beginning so it’s not like he put on a show for Steve at the end. Thanks for the video. I hate being wrong but on this rare occasion I’m glad that I am. That was inspiring.
Great insights, thank you
I work for apple for 7 years now. I see him sometimes, he’s such a nice guy. Always says hi, and always smiles.
Thank you for the video! I wonder where is the time for the family?
TIm Cook has no family, he's still single. But idk exactly, his life is private and he doesn't want to reveal
I voted for this so glad you decided to still do it :)

Tim Cook sounds almost like me 😂 Except my work is on graveyard, so I get off work, come home check my emails, shower, eat breakfast watch KZhead, go to school, come home eat lunch, sleep, get up, check my work email, do homework, get ready for work, and go work. 😁
Me: do the least voted one Apple Explained: *Challenge accepted*
Loved this video, found it so intriguing. Kinda wish it was longer!
True
It's incredible how early he wakes up every day. He is highly underrated as a leader, because everyone compares him to Jobs. He has brought an incredible amount of value to his shareholders.
Jobs would be a great reality TV star, but most people can't and won't work in the environment that he set. People want something fun, yet familiar.
My god that just sounds exhausting. I really admire people who have this level of passion for their work, I really do mainly because I can't comprehend it. Don't get me wrong I enjoy my job as it's interesting but this is next level maybe even a step beyond. But considering the pressure apple faces in the day to day I guess you have to be this enthusiastic.
Tim cook seems like the guy that would just come up to you and compliment you for no reason

Book book or a video did you find this information from, it’s very interesting.
I love his breakfast choice. It is not too ostentatious but also not beffiting a pauper. It is just delicious, healthy and meets the standards of someone his status.
Wow Starts off his morning with healthy breakfast and before going to work he visits *starbucks*
Probably Starbucks is his favourite drink I guess but if he likes it it must have food that can balance it like fruits and vegetables.
😂😂😂😂😂
The sad thing is people end up doing unfair comparisons with him. Let’s remember we don’t have the obligation to be as productive and dedicated to our jobs as he is. I feel the status quo expects us to be no less than that in order to be accomplished, successful, worthy or even happy.
1:16 Greg: He explained why. Also Greg: Wait, that's my job
