La semaine passée, pour couper court aux rumeurs concernant sa santé, Steve Jobs (CEO de Apple) avait déclaré publiquement que sa santé était bonne et qu’il n’y avait pas de quoi se tracasser…

Il en est apparemment autrement depuis aujourd’hui et il s’avère que Steve compte prendre 6 mois de repos médical car sa santé serait plus préoccupante qu’on ne le pensait en fin de compte. C’est Tim Cook qui se charger de la gestion au jour le jour d’Apple jusque fin juin, steve restant présent pour toute décision stratégique importante concernant Apple.

Espérons toutefois que ce ne soit trop grave pour Steve…

 

Voici une copie de son e-mail de ce mercredi 14 janvier à l’équipe d’Apple:

 

Team,

I am sure all of you saw my letter last week sharing something very personal with the Apple community. Unfortunately, the curiosity over my personal health continues to be a distraction not only for me and my family, but everyone else at Apple as well. In addition, during the past week I have learned that my health-related issues are more complex than I originally thought.

In order to take myself out of the limelight and focus on my health, and to allow everyone at Apple to focus on delivering extraordinary products, I have decided to take a medical leave of absence until the end of June.

I have asked Tim Cook to be responsible for Apple’s day to day operations, and I know he and the rest of the executive management team will do a great job. As CEO, I plan to remain involved in major strategic decisions while I am out. Our board of directors fully supports this plan.

I look forward to seeing all of you this summer.

Steve
