  • Hello, Courage. That's What Tim Cook Says Matters Most
    | Hello, Courage. That’s what Tim Cook says matters most to him as Apple’s CEO. “Do you have the courage to admit that you’re wrong? And do you change?” he asks rhetorically, in reference to the company’s infamous flops like the Power Mac G4 “Cube” and the iTunes social network Ping. Then last week, Apple’s Phil Schiller cited courage as the guiding light in the decision to remove the headphone jack from the latest iPhone model. Below, we discuss the bold move to drop an industry standard and what it means for consumers and business leaders alike. Also in this Download: holding algorithms accountable, finding a voice, creating products from pollution, and biking into the future. Andrew Benett Global Chief Executive Officer Havas Creative Group What: Apple killed the headphone jack with the newly announced iPhone 7. So What: This is yet another example of Apple showing (rather than asking) people what they want—in this case, an improved listening experience and a nudge toward a wireless future. While change can be hard, the time has come to move on from a technology that's nearly 140 years old. To bring your industry into the future, start by looking critically at your products and services to see what both you and your customers are simply accepting as the status quo. What: Until very recently, LinkedIn’s algorithm appeared to favor men. Meanwhile, Facebook has had to address its own bias issue. So What: Have you ever been frustrated by surge pricing? Algorithms are increasingly shaping our life experiences, and consumers have a right to know how brands are subtly (and not so subtly) influencing them.
