Steve Jobs, Apple’s boss, takes another medical leave to take care of his health. He will still be the CEO and will also take care of all the big actions but he said that Tim Cook will be responsible for all daily operations.
He sent an email to all the employees in which he wrote:
At my request, the board of directors has granted me a medical leave of absence so I can focus on my health. I will continue as CEO and be involved in major strategic decisions for the company, I have asked Tim Cook to be responsible for all of Apple’s day to day operations. I have great confidence that Tim and the rest of the executive management team will do a terrific job executing the exciting plans we have in place for 2011. I love Apple so much and hope to be back as soon as I can. In the meantime, my family and I would deeply appreciate respect for our privacy.
He took an absence in 2009 as well in the month of January and back then too, he had the same reason.
