The Secrets Apple Keeps is a fascinating commentary on the inner workings of Apple, Inc. and its culture of secrecy and division. The commentary is from Adam Lashinsky’s new book called Inside Apple.  Apple would make a great case study in mentoring, managing and leadership…too bad we will never know the true inner workings of the company.

Highlights
“You don’t want to be the weak link. There is an intense desire to not let the company down.”

“All companies have secrets, of course. The difference is that at Apple everything is a secret.”

“There is not a culture of recognizing and celebrating success. It’s very much about work.”

“Apple pays salaries that are competitive with the marketplace — but no better.”

“People love it, which is different than saying they have fun. Fun comes and goes.”
