Tim Cook se pozitioneaza pe locul 58 in topul celor mai influenti oameni de pe glob

  Astazi celebra revista Time Magazin a publicat topul celor mai influenti oameni ai anului 2012 si desigur ca actualul CEO al companiei Apple este prezent in el. Tim Cook se pozitioneaza pe locul 58 in lista publicata de cei de la Time Magazine si aparitia sa in acest top se datoreaza desigur pozitiei pe care o ocupa in cadrul uneia dintre cele mai populare companii de pe glob. Tim Cook este CEO al Apple din luna august 2011, insa pana atunci a mai ocupat temporar aceasta functie in timp ce Steve Jobs a beneficiat de concediul medical, iar experienta si popularitatea sa au ajutat editorii in luarea deciziei.

It is difficult to imagine a harder challenge than following the legendary Steve Jobs as CEO of Apple. Yet Tim Cook, a soft-spoken, genuinely humble and quietly intense son of an Alabama shipyard worker and a homemaker, hasn’t missed a single beat. Fiercely protective of Jobs’ legacy and deeply immersed in Apple’s culture, Cook, 51, has already led the world’s most valuable and innovative company to new heights while implementing major policy changes smoothly and brilliantly.

He has indelibly imprinted his leadership on all areas of Apple — from managing its complex inner workings to identifying and shepherding new “insanely great” technology and design breakthroughs into the product pipeline. Cook’s personal discipline, physical regimen and work hours reflect a philosophy summarized in his 2010 Auburn University commencement speech, in which he quoted President Lincoln: “I will prepare, and someday my chance will come.” Highly ethical and always thoughtful, he projects calmness but can be tough as nails when necessary. Like the great conductor George Szell, Cook knows that his commitment to excellence is inseparable from the incredible ensemble he leads at Apple. Szell was noted for saying, “We begin where others leave off.”

Cook’s chance has come. What a beginning!

  Fiecare persoana prezenta in top a fost descrisa sumar de catre o celebritate, iar in cazul lui Tim Cook fostul vicepresedinte al SUA, Al Gore, a scris randurile de mai sus. Tim Cook face o treaba foarte buna la Apple si speram ca pe viitor sa ne aduca produse cel putin la fel de bune precum cele dezvoltate sub “comanda” lui Steve Jobs. Aici aveti listat top 100 cele mai influente persoane de pe glob conform Time Magazine.
