Steve Jobs came back to Apple in 1997 - the iPod came out 4 years later. 3 years after that is the first time his market cap grew. It took 7 years.
From Carol Bartz
The fact that you can crawl the web is a commodity.
Social does not just equal Facebook. Social is how people interact anywhere.
If people really don't want ads, they can go find their information however it is they want. It's a free world on that matter.
If you want to run an ad on the iPad, it has to be approved by Apple.
Any leader needs to be constantly interested in what's going on in the world, and constantly ready - even when things are going well - to change.
I became a sales manager at Digital Equipment, promoted from within the sales team. My peers were less than excited that I had gotten the job, especially one of my male peers who said he just wasn't going to work for a woman.
Managing is a tough job. When you're young, you just think it's a natural progression - I'm good at this, so I'm going to be good at that - and it's not that way at all.
Everybody on my team - I couldn't do their jobs. I could not. I really mean that. So I figured out early on that the way you're successful is you hire really successful people.
If I had my way, I wouldn't do annual reviews, if I felt that everybody would be more honest about positive and negative feedback along the way. I think the annual review process is so antiquated.
