Now after a year, one senior leader wanted to retire, one new leader got hired and fired within six months, and the OS guru is fired. This to me sounds like Cook is looking for personalities that he can manage and he is looking for like minded people in his team. These latest changes in my opinion are not very healthy. Mistakes do happen but Cook should find out the root cause of the mistakes and learn from them. "Looks like" and "is" are two different things. While it may look like these latest changes are not healthy, it's just as likely that they are. The management inherited by Cook is a point of fact, unalterable. The consistent pattern of underperformance within an organization that absolutely demands perfection is Forstall’s to keep forever and ever. Cook is culpable in the hiring of retail manager [name already forgotten]. Good managers get out of the way and step up only when the gears of progress fail. Good or bad, Forstall will not be missed by many. Just my own humble and sometimes wrong opinion.
