In 2011, Steve Jobs stepped down as CEO of Apple in a short, direct letter that marked one of the most important leadership transitions in tech history.
He made it clear he could no longer meet the responsibilities of the role, recommended Tim Cook as his successor, and shifted to chairman while still staying connected to the company he built.
At that moment, Apple was already one of the most influential companies in the world, but the bigger question was whether it could survive without its most iconic leader.
What followed proved the depth of the system he had built, Apple continued to grow, scale, and dominate new categories, showing that the company was bigger than one person.
