Apple without Steve Jobs

Unless you have been living under a rock you have heard that Steve Jobs is leaving Apple 'temporarily' - until June; due to continually worsening health issues.

As expected Apple stock has taken a nose dive ... which is frustrating.

In Steve's absence, Chief Operating Officer Tim Cook will be taking over.  Tim has taken over before in Jobs' absence, and is an excellent leader.

I won't copy and paste the entire article - because I am pretty sure it is illegal to do so, but Bloomberg (cite H) has an excellent article on Tim's leadership style.  You can check it out by clicking here.  Here is an excerpt about Cook:
