— Tim Cook, CEO of Apple That is one key life lesson that Tim Cook, CEO of Apple AAPL , says he learned from the inimitable Steve Jobs before the founder of the Cupertino, Calif.-based company died in 2011. “A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines,” Emerson wrote in his famous essay “Self-Reliance.”
