I think he's good at operations. But he doesn't lead the same way jobs did. apple can still turn the crank, but I don't think they innovate like when sj was around. Jobs worked with the outside world well, and cooperating well with the rest of silicon valley.
I think apple is now heavily navel-gazing. Their products point inwards into their ecosystem, they don't interoperate, the customer is trapped, they have few choices. maybe I should say egosystem?
yeah I know but issue is not MBA it is what kinda culture you come and where you are good. Selling sugar water (you need to be like super good at marketing) and leading tech firm need different skills.
I've read Sculley's book as a teenager and I remember that it made a big impression on me, even though I don't remember much. I think the PepsiCo part was really gripping.
