Many of you are probably familiar with Tim Cook, the CEO of Apple. But you may not be familiar with how he got there. After all, Steve Jobs was the most iconic businessperson during his tenure at Apple. With the ability to create blockbuster products like the iMac, iPod, and iPhone, and build multi-billion dollar companies like Apple and Pixar. He was often described as being an innovator, visionary, and genius. With such a high level of charisma that he could distort reality and convince anyone to do exactly what he wanted. So, why then, did someone like Tim Cook become his successor? At first glance, Cook was the complete opposite of Jobs. Quiet and reserved, with a background in operations and data analysis instead of products. And prior to becoming CEO, he wasn’t really one of the star players in Apple’s executive lineup. That title usually went to Jonathan Ive or Phil Schiller, who were often featured in Apple’s keynotes and promotional videos. So how did he end up taking the top spot at Apple, by becoming the company’s CEO? Well, that’s exactly what I’m going to explain in this video.
Steve went to him and said: "Tim, You are Captain now."
Captain cook
But only until China buys him out -- if they haven't already ... See video ... "China Tackles Climate Change"
Because he was about to pass away!

tim cook steves #1 boy
People always say Steve Jobs is the thing that make Apple big and famous. They totally forgot about the talented humans behind Steve
Being able to identify them and harness their potential is what made him great.
Exactly
I used to live in Silicon Valley, Apple worked their employees with crazy long hours back then. And everyone talked bad about Jobs and had stories about his weirdness. After he died every meetup praised him for this and that and it was so funny, I used to photograph a lot of meetups in the Bay Area and they always mention Jobs, it is crazy and they still do it now.
And you forgot to mention the smarter Steve who was the reason Apple succeeded in beginning
No they didn’t. Anyone who understood Jobs understood his admiration for the titans he was leading.
"The job of CEO isn't to be the best product designer, or software engineer, it's to be the best leader." - Apple Explained
His name is Greg
Yes lawd 🙌🏾
he didnt make that saying up that saying im sure
Apple certainly isn't innovating anymore.
@@thundergato84 (X)Doubt
The first time Steve Jobs hand-picked a CEO he got it completely wrong but the 2nd time around he nailed it with Tim Cook!
Seriously though screw John Sculley
Big difference is that Jobs and Sculley were not on the same page about a lot of things. Cook respects the hell out of Jobs and we all know it. Yeah, he does a lot of things differently than how Steve ran things, but it’s still bringing Apple a lot of success, especially in the business aspect.
Well you learn from your mistakes.
@@deezpleez3832 Jobs specifically wanted the next CEO not to think “what would Jobs have done?” but at the same time not completely disrespect his ideology
Completely agree!
I believed that without Steve Jobs, Apple would never be the same. 10 years and $2 trillion valuation later, Apple is not the same. It’s incredible.
Most people say jobs was much better than cook but I differ, and see a balance of differences between them. Jobs was a visionary, he sought to find new products and new designs that people may find attractive. However jobs has made many failed products as well because the technology wasn’t good enough for his wants. Tim Cook definitely was better in this category. Cook kept the same design of the iPhone from 6 to the iPhone 8, though it was annoying, it helped the company succeed and they didn’t get ahead of themselves, allowing for innovation for when they are ready and not only will it be new, it will be well tested and perfected under Tim Cook. I think cook may have overall been a better CEO and Apple would be struggling if cook was not present.
Apple has certainly been successful, but Tim Cook is no Steve Jobs.
@@dangrass he is no Steve Jobs but he is a Tim Cook he has done a great job at running Apple
True, but even when Jobs WAS alive (when he was fired) Apple went off the rails a bit after Jobs was fired by Sculley and the board. To an extent, I don't think the company ever really recovered from that point on, not even when Jobs returned to the company later. Because by the time JObs returned, there was much more competition and some of Job's style of doing businesses was not feasible anymore, and like most big companies of the time, had to work within the increased competition. Indeed Apple (and Microsoft and many others) are going to be (and often are) considered one of the greatest companies of all time, along with others like Standard Oil and others.
it's every day worse than before.
Cook is a really underrated leader. His pure grit to lead is second to none.
Tim’s decision of leaving a successful company for a sinking one reminds me of myself making a similar decision at my job. Hopefully the success story is the same.
The very fact that you have taken such a decision shows that you are working for something more than just money. Don’t worry pal, you WILL be successful
Good luck man. Maybe hop in to this thread and give us an update when u see how it's gone?
Good luck mate
it's like lewis hamilton leaving mclaren to go to mercedes 😂
Good luck! Wanna see you gain success.
I think that without him Apple wouldn't have survived after Steve's death.
Apple is less about 1 person and more about Steve's philosophy in creating insanely great products that look great and work delightfully in every way.
@@640A Very true, but let’s not forget, Steve picked Tim to succeed him, and in my honest opinion, Tim has done a great job continuing Steve’s philosophy and engraving it in how they run Apple.
@@640A exactly, but still, Tim played a key role in Apple’s success, even back before the 2000, he was a fundamental person in saving Apple from bankruptcy
Gurl you sound super naive.. 😒
It hasn't.... it's just taking some time to die.
One of the best decisions Steve ever made. The company has exploded in sales and market cap since the transition. Tim knows how to run a company
100%. It's so dumb when people talk smack on Tim without knowing anything. They see Tim and say "he's so much worse than Steve Jobs" when Tim wasn't supposed to replace Steve, he was supposed to be the next leader of Apple to take it to greater heights. Now, Apple has reached such great lengths thanks to Cook's direction. Steve knew exactly what he was doing when he put Tim in charge, and it shows.
@@test-ky8tu people say that Apple hasn’t innovated since Jobs but these are the major things under Tim Apple: 1)Apple Watch 2)AirPods 3)M1 4)iPad Pro 5)iOS 7 7)iPhone X And many more but there are so many I can’t be bothered to list them.
@@bullymaguire6388 Yeah, he's done great. It's just that people are expecting Tim to "create the next iphone". People want Apple to create another world changing and culture defining product when that just isn't gonna happen. I love Jony Ive, but if he became CEO, then Jony probably would've tried to take Apple down that path of pursuit to a new "world changing product" which probably would've led to multiple product failures and the downfall of Apple. Steve knew that and put Tim in charge, because he knew Tim's values were the best for the future and longevity of Apple. I love Steve Jobs a ton, but it's absolutely dumb how people seem to trash Cook.
@@test-ky8tu yeah and that’s the exact thing that happened to Apple in the 1900s. Jobs wanted to create a world changing product but kept releasing flop after flop.
@@bullymaguire6388 Yup, exactly. I love Apple a ton, but ignorant Apple fanboys just ignore the down points of Apple and Steve Job's legacy. I think once the iPhone came out, Steve had realized that Apple had done their part in majorly changing the world with a product. I feel like that's why he didn't try creating any more new insane future defining products, but rather just kept expanding upon what they had created and innovating in the industry to refine it all. Hence him bringing in Tim Cook because he was the guy who would keep Apple alive to continue refining and innovating instead of bringing it back to that "world changing product" chasing stage with someone like Jony Ive. It was nice talking apple with you, sry for the long messages lol :)

I appreciate it!

It wouldn’t surprise me if Steve left some sort of roadmap to follow a decade after his passing. He knew he was ill long before his death.
That’s called vision. The company is following his vision.
@@zorkor Yep. and Steve Job's vision has always been about seamless user experiences, and now look at apple today. you have a watch, phone, headphones, laptop and a desktop that all seamlessly share data with each other and connect to one another.
Yeah but it ain’t this easy. Life is full of unexpected things. New markets that didn’t exist before and such. New competition that Jobs could’ve of imagined.
I believe it was for Tim to not do what Steve did but what Tim thinks is the best way forward.
yea that is true
I just discovered your channel and this is my second video of yours that I'm watching and I must say your research and style of explaining everything is highly commendable. Every single point you stated in the video flowed so well, the script was on-point, never did I feel that you were rushing or dragging, and the whole video just came off as very professional, like it was made my someone who knows and loves what they're doing. You have earned my like in the best way possible. All in all, a great video that I thoroughly enjoyed. Keep it up.
Man, you make these things sound epic. This love letter to Tim (Apple) Cook is legendary! 🙌🏾
Jobs gave apple the spirit, cook makes sure it stays alive.
probably the best video on this channel, very nice and informative!!

I love this channel. I always learn something I never knew
One of the best videos I have ever seen
One thing is clear and that is that even though Jobs was a great leader, his vision wasn't exactly what Cook's is. Apple has been doing great the last decade, business wise because Job's vision was innovation mostly but Cook's vision is more profit oriented. As a matter of fact, Apple has made more money under Cook's leadership than ever before.
yeah no shit they made more money now, because all the products they made under steve were cheap remember that.
@@LorandoriginalNope. Take a look at their pricing for their iMacs from back in the day. Pricey as hell at the time.

Love these videos. Thanks. 🤙🏻
THATS what distinguishes between a man with a reason and a man that doesnt! Truly inspiring. HES been an awesome ceo
What an amazing video. I bought a book about how Tim Cook took Apple to the next level. After watching this video, I can't wait to read it.
I think I have the same book u bought! 😂
high quality video, great job!
Yes You make so much informative and nice videos Thank you
Ah! The video i was waiting for.. PS.. If you don't mind.. then.. is there any channel like "Microsoft Explained"?? (because i love Microsoft and Apple BOTH!)
i hope criag fedrichi succeeds tim as the next ceo, but i also hope that there is a competent software exec in his place.
It might be Jeff Williams as he is the current COO.
i doubt it would be craig. like the video said, a great leader is the one who is most likely to be the next ceo. craig is a software guy. the next ceo is most probably the current coo, jeff williams

Cook is like the backbone of apple Steve is the heart and Ive and woz, now Craig are the brain.
Like many, I was skeptical of Tim when he first took over for Steve Jobs. But alas, not falling into the "What would Steve Do?" mental trap paid off really well for Tim Cook and Apple.
This is the kind of content which I love 🥳😉
Steve jobs was one of the best CEO's of any company and he has done wonders for Apple but I also have to give credit to Tim Cook as he got Apple to where it is today, 10 years after Job's passing.
wow. great video. never thought of all of this
Because of Job’s intuition, cost him to make the right decision by making cooked a CEO of Apple. This is why today we have what we have at Apple. And we as customers benefit from Job’s intuition even though he’s not around anymore but I still thinking of him every day. Thank you cook for follow your own intuition to do what you do an apple and gift us the best today from Apple.
A much needed video.
Thank you for this video. I know know that Need to enhance my skills in technology before I move forward with my Law Enforcement career.

hi
'Just in time' manufacturing has revolutionized the production and logistics chain, and technically, although there is no one to one replacement for Jobs, Cook brought the most value to Apple taking it from a $350 billion company to a $2 Trillion company
Happy Birthday to Apple keep up the good work
Unexpexted inspirational video and a good lesson about what is important in a CEO
Great story, great video, thanks a lot!
0:33 “so why then did someone like Tim Cook..”, i instantly poured out my tea before even he finished the line LMAO
Excellent post, Greg. Another winner. Very interesting stuff.
I think Tim Apple is overhated. People try to compare him with Steve Jobs and say that Apple has stopped innovativing under him which is not true. When Steve picked him, he specifically said to not think what Steve would do.
So you gonna put some dirt in their eyes?
@@AnkitKumar-fo2iz I missed the part where thats my problem.
Apple is overrated....
Thank you, thank you, this was very well done and professional and to the point. Excellent story telling. This story of how Tim Cook came to work for Apple the the sinking ship at that time took guts. His friends and family probably made fun of him and said he was crazy to leave his present jobs. Remind me of a advice I receive 20 year ago, when you are buying stock invest in the person who is running the company and not the company name or products.
The iPad is one of the best product of Apple. The first and 2nd gen iPad are beasts especially the battery. A game changer.
Great information! Really appreciate the info!
Tim Cook is a great CEO! I will never understand people who say Steve was better. They were both great. Looking forward to see who replaces Cook
Love how this frames Jobs' and Ives' success being completely dependent on Cook's behind the scenes excellence.
I mean it’s true. Ik lots of people see Tim being not as visionary as Steve but the way he reorganized their supply chain is amazing
It's like a puzzle. Every piece is equally important.
"He was jumping ship from the most popular computer company in the world (Compaq), which he just joined six months prior, to the one that was in the process of sinking (Apple)."
Thank Tim cook to make me understand my Self more. We don't have to be good at anything, but the thing is the best when we can perform a teammate.
cook is a maintainer. we're getting the same products & phones on an endless loop ever since job has been passed away.
I agree and disagree with that. I mean what else do you want? Do you want a faster chip set? Pro refresh rate is coming, In display finger print? The iPads and Apple Watch are pretty damn good!
so Tim Cook just proved he is the mastermind in logistics.
great video! I love your content! 😄
I think Cook's not recognized as much as Jobs. What do you think, Greg?
Honestly not sure????🤔
pfft, he's not half as good as jobs, let's be grounded here.
@@xehP absolutely, Jobs can never be matched, but Cook does go massively unnoticed despite taking the company to new levels
Wait, good point :o
@@shivanedadi4029 new levels of prices.. haha jokes aside though. We all know no one can touch Jobs when it comes to vision and innovation, but Cook has put Apple in a great position and he has done a great job at succeeding Steve as CEO. We shall not forget products like the Apple Watch, AirPods, iPad Pro came under Cook’s leadership.
I know this channel is all about Apple, but I would love to see this style of video about former T-Mobile CEO John Legere
I remember when steve died i thought uh oh apple is gonna fold aswell, but tim cook turned apple into a mega machine company i am forever grateful for steve in his decisions, especially in choose tim
Tim has style in my book.
Thank you so much

its actually a multi-trillion dollar company and the most valuable one which is even crazier
"intuition is more important than intelligence" Jobs
Just In Time was developed by Toyota. It’s one (of many)tool of their Lean Management System. Tim Cook simply applied JIT to Apple’s production
