Ex-Apple CEO John Sculley Dishes On Steve Jobs
digitaldc writes "Here's a full transcript of the interview with John Sculley on the subject of Steve Jobs. It's long but worth reading because there are some awesome insights into how Jobs does things. It's also one of the frankest CEO interviews you'll ever read. Sculley talks openly about Jobs and Apple, admits it was a mistake to hire him to run the company and that he knows little about computers. It's rare for anyone, never mind a big-time CEO, to make such frank assessment of their career in public."
...but given this statement:
I find it very difficult to believe that the man who has presided over Apple's astonishing march back into relevancy over the last couple decades could possibly be labeled "a mistake".
RTFA - he refers to himself, not Jobs.
Except that it isn't Jobs, he's a dork. I think all of the engineers and un-named employees at Apple would take exception to the perception that is being fabricated that the Dork is responsible for Apple's comeback.
As seems pretty typical of large corporations one person at the top takes credit for the brilliance of innovator's below.
Hope is the currency of fools
