The Genius Behind Apple's Greatest Products

Jony Ive

Journalist Leander Kahney reveals how CEO Tim Cook has led Apple to astronomical success after the death of Steve Jobs in 2011. The death of Steve Jobs left a gaping void at one of the most innovative companies of all time. Jobs wasn't merely Apple's iconic founder and CEO; he was the living embodiment of a global megabrand. It was hard to imagine that anyone could fill his shoes--especially not Tim Cook, the intensely private executive who many thought of as Apple's "operations drone." But seven years later, as journalist Leander Kahney reveals in this definitive book, things at Apple couldn't be better. Its stock has nearly tripled, making it the world's first trillion dollar company. Under Cook's principled leadership, Apple is pushing hard into renewable energy, labor and environmentally-friendly supply chains, user privacy, and highly-recyclable products. From the massive growth of the iPhone to lesser-known victories like the Apple Watch, Cook is leading Apple to a new era of success. Drawing on access with several Apple insiders, Kahney tells the inspiring story of how one man attempted to replace someone irreplacable, and--through strong, humane leadership, supply chain savvy, and a commitment to his values--succeeded more than anyone had thought possible.

The Cult of Mac

É difícil acreditar que um único homem tenha revolucionado a informática nos anos 1970 e 1980 (com o Apple II e o Mac), o cinema de animação nos anos 1990 (com a Pixar) e, mais recentemente, a música digital (com o iPod e o iTunes). Foi o que fez Steve Jobs, cofundador e presidente da Apple. Não é à toa que conquistou milhões de fãs ardorosos no mundo inteiro.A cabeça de Steve Jobs reúne as lições empresariais desse inovador visionário e revela os segredos de seu sucesso. Considerado um líder notável nas indústrias da tecnologia de informação e do entretenimento, Jobs é também dono de um temperamento difícil: seus épicos acessos de raiva já se tornaram lenda. O jornalista e escritor Leander Kahney, que há anos acompanha de perto a carreira do empresário, nos mostra aqui o homem por trás da figura cultuada: um fascinante poço de contradições.Jobs é um elitista que considera a maioria das pessoas imbecil, mas faz gadgets fáceis de serem utilizados por qualquer idiota. É obsessivo e tem pavio curto, mas constrói parcerias sólidas e duradouras com gênios criativos como Steve Wozniak, Jonathan Ive e John Lasseter. É budista e antimaterialista, mas faz produtos para mercados de massa em fábricas asiáticas e os promove com domínio absoluto da linguagem da propaganda. Em suma, Jobs adotou os traços considerados por alguns como defeitos - narcisismo, perfeccionismo, desejo de controle total - para conduzir a Apple e a Pixar ao triunfo contra probabilidades adversas.Com texto ágil, Leander Kahney identifica os princípios que norteiam Jobs ao lançar produtos irresistíveis, ao atrair compradores fanaticamente fiéis e ao administrar algumas das marcas mais poderosas do mundo.

The Cult of IPod

Jedni mówią o nim nudziarz, drudzy – geniusz. Kim naprawdę jest Tim Cook? Śmierć Steve’a Jobsa była wielkim ciosem dla jednej z najbardziej innowacyjnych firm wszech czasów. Jobs był nie tylko założycielem i legendarnym dyrektorem generalnym Apple – był również ucieleśnieniem kultowej marki. Trudno było sobie wyobrazić, że ktokolwiek mógłby go zastąpić, a już szczególnie Tim Cook. Tymczasem za kadencji Cooka firma potroiła wartość akcji, stała się pierwszą firmą na świecie wycenianą na ponad bilion dolarów, wprowadziła na rynek Apple Watch. Obecnie Apple z nowym liderem ma się lepiej niż dobrze. Leander Kahney, opierając się na wielu rozmowach z osobami wewnątrz Apple i z najbliższego otoczenia Cooka, opowiada inspirującą historię o tym, jak jeden człowiek zastąpił kogoś niezastąpionego, a dzięki silnemu charakterowi, pielęgnowanym wartościom i doświadczeniu udało mu się osiągnąć więcej, niż ktokolwiek przypuszczał.
