TIM COOK

TIM COOK is Leander Kahney's third book about Apple's great leaders. It is the story of how Cook embraced the impossible job of Apple CEO in the wake of Steve Job's death, and leveraged his skills in global logistics and corporate management to turn Apple into the biggest company in global history.

The death of Steve Jobs left the world wondering about the fate of one of the most innovative and profitable companies of all time, Apple. It was hard to imagine anyone could fill Jobs' shoes - especially not Tim Cook, who many thought of as an "operations drone."

But as Leander Kahney reveals in the first definitive book on one of today's most powerful business leaders, things at Apple couldn't be better. Under Cook's leadership, Apple is pushing into renewable energy, a labor- and environmentally-friendly supply chain, recyclable products, and unrivaled global influence. 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 authorized access with several Apple insiders, Tim Cook tells the inspiring story of how one man took on the world's most difficult joband succeeded more than anyone had thought possible.
