Really depends on what you mean by "great". Steve Jobs was famously coldhearted. I doubt he surrounded himself with anyone who didn't brush his ego or made him money. Also he apparently smelled terribly.
@@bardoomguy my new Apple products smelled just fine, and worked better than their competitors. I don’t care about what Steve was like in person, his reflection is in the products he made.
@@bardoomguyYou got that wrong. Why? Cold hearted person can’t laugh at himself. You want an example of that kind of person so then you look at Con Don. Steve laughed at himself. He could make good jokes about himself without any problems. Being demanding is a different thing. The company must move forward or it will be ruined. You have to see that deadlines are met.
Tim is probably the greatest operational executive of the modern era. Steve as CEO and Tim as COO will go down as one of the greatest management pairs of all time.
@@jamess.2491 there are a lot of talented supply chain companies, Tim is not distinct CEO. This is true he is qualified professional, but he doesn't possess any distinct talents. Steve Jobs build the legacy and loyal customers would keep buying anything apple makes
I like Tim. I wish this was longer, he’s such a down to earth, likable, nice guy who just happens to be extremely smart and not pompous about it. There’s not a lot of people like that!
@@thecapone45 100%. Having a boss not fire you for disagreeing with him is nice. Steve was basically like Ferdinand Piëch. Expected and demanded the most from everyone and if you couldn't do what you were asked to do.. the door is right there if you can't do it. Both horrible people, but both changed the world for the better or for the worst.
If he’s so smart, don’t you think he would also be smart enough to know that it’s in his best interest to appear as a down-to-earth, likable, nice guy, even if that were just a facade?
He may not be a rockstar or an extremely charismatic CEO like you normally see in Silicon Valley. But this man is filled with wisdom, and is rich in immaterial wealth. Dedicates his life to what actually matters to him, and learns in the process.
Tim's job was not to be another Steve ... Steve left the universe with Apple in good hands with a bunch of "A" players. The ecosystem and Apple garden was already in full bloom. Tim just needed to keep watering the garden. Innovation may have stalled a bit, but it's still pushing forward with solid to great products.
True, Tim was working behind the curtains for many years, but a very hard and important job... he saved a lot of money for Apple, made it faster and more efficient with the suppliers, the guy is like a computer himself:)
One of the best things about Tim Cook is that when you listen to him as he speaks, you can clearly see how passionate he is, a key thing for being a good CEO
Tim is an awesome CEO. He is very passionate and yet conscious about making good impact in the world. He is not about moving fast and breaking things. He is about making things that last and help people.
He’s arguably the best operational executive alive today, but he’s not a visionary. Steve at the helm and Tim running the machine was probably the best duo in corporate history. Really all of Apples EM team was fantastic.
@@jqyhlmnp There are many kinds of CEO. Few are like Jobs. Tim is a great business CEO, and Apple has become a financial giant because of it. Corporate culture stems from the top, and as such Apple has shifted from an innovative company to a profits-driven company.
If you think this wasn't HEAVILY reviewed, rehearsed, scripted, and polished, and think this was a "genuine human side" then boy do I have news for you and how celebrity and big business interviews work.
I love this; has Tim spoken about his health, publicly, recently? I’ve noted that the last few interviews he has quite shaky hands and that he appears to have some very very subtle tremors from the neck up. Wish him good health, of course! What a leader.
Tim my first organisation was IBM and was recruited as Customer Executive my career got accelerated from there I have worked and njoyed too 🇺🇸🌍thank you bro
What a great interview. Tim Cook is inspiring bc of where he came from and where his is now. It really is the people you surround yourself with that make a difference. Here we are using these products that have been thought so much innovation.
Love this! I’m a big fan of Tim Cook’s leadership and really appreciated gaining some insight into the man himself. Great interview with thoughtful responses. Thanks!
I like this video of Tim Cook, so nice and polite. He knows how it feels to be poor, the first one to go to college, also don't waste his time on the past.
Steve Jobs really had a talent for pickup the right man for the right job. And the result is in front of us. ❤ I just wanna see how Apple Makes Vision Pro seepe into the common consumer space and whethrr it succeeds like the iPhone or not. 🔥
I like the enthusiasm in his eyes, like those of a child. Looking at his eyes, I cannot help but more admire Steve Jobs. Many great founders, CEOs, and kings have failed to choose the proper heir. He was even great at that task as well.
Love this guy to bits. I think the best takeaway from what he's saying is to not be afraid to take huge bets if you get a gut feeling. He could've been a successful VP in tons of traditional companies, but there was a single man and place that could have given him this opportunity.
Thanks for this interview, Tim is a great co-founder from APPLE, I like his views of leading this stunning enterprise. Kind regards to him, his relatives and others from APPLE.
Tim seems like a guy you could meet randomly, and you could have a great conversation with about anything... without even knowing he was a CEO of a trillion dollar company. he's not just some personality claiming to know more about manufacturing than anyone currently alive on earth.
This interview is what I needed. Thank you! Tim feels like he’s such a down to earth person and interesting to interact with. I’m a bit surprised to see this channel only has this few subscribers. I’m coming from a video about an iPhone, explaining there how I think the iPhone is such an interesting product instead of thinking of it as boring because of its exterior. In that context, I’m a bit jealous of his thick skin as I always think so hard about things I say. This interview makes me wish for more content about his and Apple’s work. I’ve seen posts by people who work on Apple products on LinkedIn and seeing content like this is always inspiring.
Excellent interview. Thank you. His calm and measured personality seems like it would complement very much the intensity of Steve Jobs’ personality. One of the reasons why they were so successful maybe as a team.
@@LilBogota you wanted a mini with 3x telephoto which would be a big change compared to previous designs, my comment was intended to mean that it could be possible given the current leaks about a major design change in the 17 lineup
I see why Steve picked him to be the new CEO. He’s a passionate, wise and charismatic man. The initiative to make Apple carbon neutral, while understandably controversial in a fast paced world, is what drew me in.
3:40 He doesn’t answer the question here, and I think that is because he is just a very humble man. Of course he delivered an amazing job and added many value to Apple, otherwise he would not be the CEO.
I sent Tim Cook an email about a new macbook pro I bought that packed up after a month and Apple care accused me of spilling water on it which was rubbish. He does read his emails, I got contacted by a Apple Executive and they sorted it out for me. He's a class act.
I understand you Tim you are the after generation of Steve maybe in this moment people make substimate i knew i know how the is i understand you tim but the greatness thing in that job is THE FEELING
His quote about not being married to past views. That is a sign of a great leader.
How much do you get paid per comment?
@@xenon6947 uh….nothing.
@@joshuakayla9790😂
@@joshuakayla9790 buddy I think ya may be getting ripped off
Innovators are innovators because they keep looking for new better ideas.
This is the most personable I've ever seen Tim, great job interviewer!
Same. He really opened up
He also had a great interview with (of all people) Dua Lipa recently. Very personable, sharp guy!
So did he get the JOB, or is he still slumming it as APPLE’s CEO…
🤔
The best thing about Steve, was his taste in people, the people he surrounded himself with truly defined how great he was. Tim is an example of that
Funny thing about that. You know he has been at Apple for 20ish years now?

@@ArthArmanitrue
If steve REALLY cared about his product, he's rolling in his grave right now.
Tim is strictly a businessman, nothing more
The design goes to Jony Ive
Ive was behind the designs with his team, Steve was just an overseer of it all.
One of the best things about Tim Cook is that when you listen to him as he speaks, you can clearly see how passionate he is, a key thing for being a good CEO
He became a billionaire by being a lifelong employee contrary to Startup-hustle BS
Except he's not a Product guy
Passionate about forced labour.
@@0matters apple was a startup once, you know.
@@mzr9710 ??? Tim Cook was not a founder, what's wrong with you
"Life has a way of throwing you off a well-crafted plan and the most important thing is to roll with it."
"After two years, my well-crafted plan wasn't worth the paper it was written on." What an inspirational freethinker. Thank you Tim.
People who surrounded Steve were clearly gems and went on start amazing ventures of their own. Shows the sort of charisma he really possessed!
Trueee 🔥🔥 man really knew what it means to surround yourself with talented people
Steve knew how to find really smart people and inspire them, and they all respected and listened to each other - even if they all hated each other.
Wrong. Case in point: John Scully, the man who led Jobs to be fired from Apple and then nearly bankrupted the company.
Tim is an awesome CEO. He is very passionate and yet conscious about making good impact in the world. He is not about moving fast and breaking things. He is about making things that last and help people.

I typed "Tim Apple" to find this interview, I'm very thankful that this meme still holds up 😂😂
This interview really shows a human side of Tim that I don’t think the public gets to see very often.
There are parts of his "human" side that are very reprehensibles! Any doubt? Ask Ricky Gervais speech at Golden Globe 2020.
If you think this wasn't HEAVILY reviewed, rehearsed, scripted, and polished, and think this was a "genuine human side" then boy do I have news for you and how celebrity and big business interviews work.
@@JamesR624good relief to see one knowing the truth
He's become such a charismatic, radiant leader. Wish him the best. A loyal Apple fanboy from Greece.
Have to say, learning more about his background really makes me like this guy quite a bit. What a humble origin story, more of these leaders we need.
Really admire this handsome man. He’s always consistent in his messages. He’s brave, self assured, a one-only.
Tim truly has one of the best jobs in the world, great to hear him having fun while running the biggest company on earth!

Happens when you get into your 60s
From being the first one in his family to graduate from college to being CEO of Apple is WILD! Such a humble and reflective character.

What an amazing ‘interview’. Tim is a genius in his own way.
This is what i needed. Thank you, WSJ!
The ultimate Steve Job's succesor really!
Cheers guys from lake Titicaca Peru
Nobody was focusing on customers at the time? What about Sony with the Walkman or Playstation?
Making things simple is so much harder than making them complex is one of the most undervalued overlooked ideals of business.
Really enjoyed watching this interview from start to finish. Great questions, and very thoughtful responses.
One of the most inspiring CEO figures out there
What he says in the last segment is so true 🙌🏼
These are great questions to ask for an interview
Excellent interview. Thank you. His calm and measured personality seems like it would complement very much the intensity of Steve Jobs’ personality. One of the reasons why they were so successful maybe as a team.
Like yin yang
Tim, please make the iPhone mini with 3x lenses zoom. Steve jobs always gave his best not sequential.
I heard the 17 was supposed to be a major design shakeup compared to the past couple years’ design style

Thanks WSJ for sharing this.
I don’t know who’s going to replace Tim Cook, however, the person is probably awesome! Go Apple!
I love these Apple executive interviews
Just Brilliant one on one!
such a lovely video!
Thank you Tim. Under you I have a great retirement plan with my stocks. Thank you sir!
that final lesson is gold
That's so crazy of his story his story was beautiful
Great Interview
Apple is one of US national treasure.
Very inspiring. He comes off very humble. I think he’s a great CEO
What a brilliant interview. It’s remarkable how Tim Cook has transformed Apple during his tenure!
They did a great job 👏
Tim Cook is so humble and down-to-earth to meet in person. He is so cute as a kid, and so handsome in person. I love him ❤️.
“Did you think you brought something to Apple that was missing at the time?”
“I saw sparkles in his eyes”
Okay!
Very inspiring ❤
I often said that simplicity is harder.
My first and last iPhone was the 4S.
I really loved this. I watched it twice. I will watch it one more time again. It's inspiring. He's human just like the rest of us.
one of the best CEOs of our generation
