Jobs Returned With Greater Humility
Something went wrong.
Sculley, who led Apple from 1983 to 1993 after Jobs recruited him from PepsiCo Inc. (NASDAQ:PEP), told CNBC Make It in 2019 that Jobs' leadership changed dramatically after his 12-year exile from the company he co-founded.
He described Jobs' two Apple eras as "Jobs 1.0" and "Jobs 2.0."
