A great read. It certainly makes me reflect on the many different leaders across industries and organisations I’ve worked for! I can see what you’re saying for sure 👀
Love this, Alex. The idea that eventually you have to plant again feels exactly right for Apple now. I wrote about this through a slightly different lens — founder, operator, steward — and the question of what John Ternus now has to protect: https://substack.com/home/post/p-195234491
Maybe more than a “bit crazy” but this is so true…
“The carnage of the Jobs or the Musk primarily arises because they are naturals, which is to say they do the stuff I write about as a pure by-product of who they are. This is clearly the most powerful and exciting scenario, but it’s also a bit crazy.”

Yes I saw that post! Interesting concept the steward
A really great read and a really great frame!
Thanks!

Gotta take the rough with the smooth!
Enjoyed this thanks Alex. Especially this line:
You are constantly looking for “where you can make money”, and never really looking for “where you can create value”.
Would you say that creating value is the same - or different to creating assets?
