Written by Those of us that are fans of Apple (Computer) are bummed to hear news tonight about CEO Steve Jobs planning to miss the next (and last) Macworld Convention. It has fueled rumors that his cancer has returned, and that his health may be in serious jeopardy. I hope he’s not as sick as bloggers are speculating. If so, it is very bad news for Apple product lovers. Steve Jobs remains the personal inspiration behind most of Apple’s breakthrough products.
Apple’s been doing very well in recent years, and they have just tripled their footprint at South Center mall. Their new South Center store is the second largest Apple store in Washington.
What do you think? Could the Apple company still thrive without Steve Job’s leadership?
I’m sure it has been running without him for years for the most part. Concern is if people will still have confidence in the product without him, and that his successor doesn’t run the company into the ground.
FYI
Because the population of African Americans in California is only 6.7% it didn’t take them to pass that. White 76.9%. It is called math.
Sadly one person can make or break a company. Hopefully it not the case with Apple. Better yet hopefully the rumors about Steve Job’s health are just that, rumors.

Steve Jobs
If Apple doesn’t have a leadership succession plan in place, then they completely deserve to fail. One man makes not a company.
