Tim Cook Makes Time's 100 Most Influential Person List

One of the most notable person on this year’s list was Apple’s CEO Tim Cook. He took over the company last year before Steve Jobs passed away and although he has big shoes to fill, it’s apparent that Cook has already made a positive impact on the company. Al Gore, one of Apple’s key board members, wrote a piece for Time magazine explaining why Cook is so influential, citing his leadership skills and personal discipline as valuable traits.  It sounds like perhaps Apple’s current CEO could become a legend in his own right.
