Steve's point is well taken. If Jobs had stayed at Pixar, Apple wouldn't be where it is today ... and vice versa. --- OpenStack for Africa: http://signup.kili.io Musings: https://twitter.com/varud About Adam: https://www.linkedin.com/in/adamcnelson On Sun, Jun 9, 2013 at 9:15 AM, Steve Obbayi <steve@sobbayi.com> wrote:

If we use your logic then that would exactly be where the problem is, Apple relying on putting all its "apples" in one basked (Steve Jobs). Contrast that with Samsung?

Pixar on the other hand was another of Jobs' greats, he left and Pixar has continued to blossom. They have technology we 3D developers salivate for all developed post Jobs.

So why would we want as a Nation to go by the Apple model where it is a single name behind the success?

Companies and governments are bigger than the individual. Individuals die, companies and governments live on. I believe that is why you keep re-electing leaders after 5 years.

A year later and Samsung has started trumping Apple...

Will they continue to remain relevant in the next decade, or will they descend like in the 80s san steve jobs?

Jobs died. Isn't even around for consult. The company lives on...

Focusing on the individual prevents us from building the right institutional framework that transcends individual brilliance/incompetence.

@Adam would you say the same about Jobs vs other apple CEO's? Sometimes a single individual is what it takes to lay a good foundation and point an org in the right direction, even if it means benevolent dictatorship.

Ndemo had made advances in ICT social circles to be accessible and approachable. I do not know other PS who have got on the ground to be accessible.

I hope the new PS will continue with this legacy...
