The Apple CEO was asked if they have plans for his successor to which he said, “We’re a company that believes in working on succession plans, so we have very detailed succession plans. Because something unpredictable can always happen. I could step off the wrong curb tomorrow. Hopefully that doesn’t happen, I pray that it doesn’t."
Interestingly, he raised a crucial issue regarding Apple's desired course when selecting its next CEO. "I firmly believe that the future CEO of Apple should be someone from within. Thus, my responsibility is to ensure that the board has a variety to choose from."
Recent history has shown that other digital businesses have followed a similar path, with executives such as Satya Nadella being promoted from inside to take the helm of Microsoft. It goes without saying that when the time comes, Cook's replacement will have extremely huge shoes to fill and lead Apple into the next phase because he has played a key role in pushing the company to new heights.
