With thanks to Walter Isaacson, Steve Jobs got the last word on his remarkable life. But will Apple’s founder be as fortunate extending his enterprise legacy? Apple’s leadership — the Tim Cooks and Jonathan Ives — will step up to realize the vision of their late leader. But that’s this year and next. What about in three years? Or five?
The greatest threat to Steve Jobs’s legacy isn’t competition from Google, Amazon, Facebook, or some young hippie from Yangshuo; it’s his board of directors. Jobs himself feared this. « Hewlett and Packard built a great company, and they thought they had left it in good hands, » Jobs told Isaacson. « But now it’s being dismembered and destroyed. I hope I’ve left a stronger legacy so that will never happen at Apple. »
