スティーブジョブズ。

スティーブジョブズが、CEO辞任を決意したそうです。フィロソフィーは何一つ変えずに、既成概念を積極的に破壊して、形を変えながら発展させ前進していく。その重要性と楽しさと素晴らしさを体現してくれたリーダーが、スティーブジョブズだった。彼をKeynoteで見ることができなくなることは寂しいことですが、本人自らが決断した辞任は、きっとAppleにとって大きなギフトになることを祈っている。

To the Apple Board of Directors and the Apple Community:I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple’s CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come.I hereby resign as CEO of Apple. I would like to serve, if the Board sees fit, as Chairman of the Board, director and Apple employee.As far as my successor goes, I strongly recommend that we execute our succession plan and name Tim Cook as CEO of Apple.I believe Apple’s brightest and most innovative days are ahead of it. And I look forward to watching and contributing to its success in a new role.I have made some of the best friends of my life at Apple, and I thank you all for the many years of being able to work alongside you.

Steve
