About this listen
Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Tim Cook written by Leander Kahney, read by Jonathan Cowley.
The first biography of Apple's CEO, Tim Cook
'A rich narrative with chapters covering values and Apple's progress under Cook' Wall Street Journal
In 2011, Tim Cook took on an impossible task - following in the footsteps of one of history's greatest business visionaries, Steve Jobs. Facing worldwide scrutiny, Cook (who was often described as shy, unassuming and unimaginative) defied all expectations. Under Cook's leadership Apple has soared: its stock has nearly tripled to become the world's first trillion-dollar company. From the massive growth of the iPhone to new victories like the Apple Watch, Cook is leading Apple to a new era of success.
But he's also spearheaded a cultural revolution within the company. Since becoming CEO, Cook has introduced a new style of management that emphasizes kindness, collaboration and honesty, and has quietly pushed Apple to support sexual and racial equal rights and invest heavily in renewable energy.
Drawing on authorized access with several Apple insiders, Kahney, the world's leading reporter on Apple, tells the inspiring story of how one man attempted to replace the irreplaceable and succeeded better than anyone thought possible.

A good insight into the man who runs Apple
I love Apple #products. They are not simply an object of #art and desire, but also represent some of the timeless #values. Of course, a lot of people disagree with it, but that's fair - every product or service must have people on both sides of it - how else would they get better? But this blog post is not about Apple, but the man who is running it. To think of it, he was a hardcore operations guy who is now running world's leading consumer products company known for its design!
This book is well-researched, and gives a rare insight into Tim Cook's life as a young professional right up to becoming Apple CEO and up until now. The book gives a great insight how Tim's early years at IBM and Compaq gave him the strong operational foundation that Apple once badly lacked, and how he turned it around. The other think that struck me was how he is turning the culture at Apple into more humane. Steve Jobs with all his charisma was known as the guy who called every shot, and while there are people who feel such benevolent dictatorial style might not work for everyone, Tim probably realizes that people won't probably ever see him as that. Thus, he is creating his own unique legacy. Must read for #leaders.
