Apple CEO Tim Cook revealed which books have influenced his worldview and approach to leadership. He named five works that teach valuable qualities such as moral courage, resilience, and the leader's impact on the world. Among them were both novels and autobiographies that shaped his perspective on important matters. This information was shared by Tim Cook himself in the BBC podcast 'Dua Lipa: At Your Service.'
From Cook's conversation, it became known that Harper Lee's novel 'To Kill a Mockingbird' had a profound impact on his worldview, highlighting the value of moral courage and dedication to principles. Phil Knight's memoir about the founding of Nike reminded the CEO of the importance of staying true to one's ideas under any circumstances. The book by neurosurgeon Paul Kalanithi and Malala Yousafzai's autobiography showed Cook the value of choice and the impact of one voice on society.
These works not only inspire Tim Cook in leading Apple, but they also help him shape his own moral position and teach him not to be afraid to stand up for important values, even if it requires significant effort.
