New Senior VP of Apple Retail Angela Ahrendts posting on LinkedIn:
Last month, as you might have heard, I started a new job. At some point in your career, maybe you too have made the life-altering decision to start anew. If so, you know firsthand how exciting, challenging and sometimes disorienting the first 30, 60, 90 days can be. I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately myself.
It’s interesting that Apple are allowing one of their senior VPs to blog — normally their top tier is a black box when it comes to personal opinion, with only a couple of exceptions on record.
This post by Angela is also very much in line with what we already know about her leadership style; she comes across as very people-centric in her approach. Read this post, watch her TEDx talk from last year, and you’ll have a pretty good idea of the philosophy she’ll be bringing to Apple Retail in the future.
