It’s like music. Most bands are capable of a great album, but the truly incredible artists can move from genre to genre constantly reinventing themselves.

To create an org that can do the latter (hello, Apple) seems incredible difficult, but it always seems to involve exceptionally creative leaders.

So the secret I think is to sell you mega status Facebook Borg and start afresh in a different area without the baggage of the previous app.

Sounds a little bit like Nokia, more than Apple. Paper mill, cable products, rubber boots, tires, TV, mobile phones... ;)

Ha, I’d say Nokia is more like a musician who becomes a farmer then an astronaut and then works in a pub. A bit random.
