a-okTopic: Action networks = success
What do you do when you inherit success? The natural thing to do is to seek to keep it going. But how?
Take the case of Apple. How much of the success is attributable to Steve Jobs and the culture of innovation, quality, and closed loops he built? The imagination of Jobs can not be replaced. But then again Jobs was not always right when he pushed for his more imaginative projects at Apple. The ability to pick innovative winners that other people produced was part of Jobs and that can not be replaced. So what to do?
What will most likely happen is that there will be an attempt to keep all the current products alive as long as possible. But without the vision and energy of Jobs that will become stale fairtly quickly.
What would you do if you had the chance to run Apple right now? Are those the things you are doing in your current work? If not why not?
