Carey Business School Dean Credits Right Brain Left Brain Synergy for Apple’s Success

Yash Gupta, Professor at and Dean of the Johns Hopkins Carey Business School posted a blog on leadership, in the February 1, 2010 edition of Washingtonpost.com. He writes "The secret of Apple is its culture of innovation." "To achieve that, the leadership has brought together two types of people to work for them. First are the creative people, the ones who generate the ideas for the amazing products we've come to expect from Apple. The other group are the analytical people, the hard-nosed business types who put the creative ideas through a sifter and determine whether they make sense from a business perspective." If you're aiming for the level of accomplishment that Apple has enjoyed, you need the kind of synergy that its leaders have created between the creative and business sides of the company - its right brain and its left brain, so to speak.
