> Cook was, without question, an operational genius

I’ve seen this quoted time and again. In this article the evidence is that he outsourced manufacturing to a JIT chain in China. That doesn’t seem very genius to me. Yes they were able to uphold high standards and get preferential production and pricing but what else?

Can anyone point me to what he does, on a day to day basis, that makes him and operational genius? How does it manifest in him personally?
