Everyone is still in shocked
when the news circulated over the net that Mr. Steve Jobs resigned from
his post as a Chief Executive Officer of Apple who will be replaced by
Tim Cook. No one has expected that he will leave his position from the
company that he personally founded together with other pioneers like
Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne in 1976. It has been more than 3 decades.
This is one of the breaking news in the market and everyone would want
to know more about Mr. Cook. He would take the post and responsibilities
that Mr. Jobs would leave behind. Therefore, before you get clueless,
here are some of the exciting and interesting facts about the new leader
of Apple, Tim Cook.
10. A Very Private Person
He is not a typical leader that you could see catching the attention
of glamour and glitz of the international or worldwide market. He is not
as outgoing as the outgoing CEO of Apple is. He loves to keep things
confidential. He has a mild-nature personality, a soft-spoken person,
and very enthusiastic. He does things without causing too much of
spotlight from co-workers and other colleagues.
9. A Fan Himself
Like any ordinary citizen, he also admires people and has his own
passion or liking in specific sports, such as football. He has so much
respect and admiration to Auburn Football, which significantly leaves an
impression that he can be ordinary and he can do ordinary things.
8. Loves Working and Sending Emails Early in the Morning
While everyone feels that his or her body is still being invigorated
and freshened before a day’s work, he does thing differently. He does
not do workouts in the morning or take some breeze walking to get ready
to work but his job is to send emails not just in the morning but early
in the morning. How early it is? It is 4:30 in the morning and that is
how he starts the day right.
7. A Fitness Enthusiast
Although his routine is different from any other company leaders, he
still allots enough time to go to a gym and shape himself up. In fact,
his advocacy in fitness can be seen on his active participation on other
outdoor activities such as biking and hiking, which he is consistently
doing to energize his body and mind.
6. Temporary CEO for Apple A Couple of Times
He has enough exposure and familiarity on the job that Steve would
leave to him since he has been appointed in some situations when Mr.
Jobs needed to address series of medical attention, which he
successfully played. This job is no longer new for him because he has
been used to it and he knows how it works.
5. IBM and Compaq Product
Before he joined Apple, he had years of exposure on the competitors
of Apple, which are IBM and Compaq, where he gained full advantages to
really contribute in the competitive world of gadgets, specifically
computer and other gizmos in the market.
4. Educational Highlights
He completed Industrial Engineering in 1982 at Auburn University then
later received his MBA from Duke University’s Fugua School of Business
in 1988.
3. His Natural Heritage
He was born and raised in Robertsdale, Alabama, but he came from a
simple family where his father’s occupation is a shipyard worker while
his mother is a full time homemaker.
2. Independently Hardworking
He may have not received the luxuries of life while he was young,
which could be attributed for his mild nature and simplicity. Yet he has
reaped all the rewards because of his frugality and hardworking nature.
In fact, he is one of the biggest contributors to the successes that
Apple had in the past, where even Mr. Jobs believed in him.
