   John Sculley Reflects on the Firing of Steve Jobs

   Josh Centers

   Former Apple CEO John Sculley gave a talk at the annual Forbes Global
   CEO Conference, where he was asked about the vicious split between
   himself and Steve Jobs, which led to Jobs leaving the company in the
   mid-1980s. Sculley aimed the blame squarely at Apple's board at the
   time and pointed out that Jobs didn't then have the business acumen
   that he's now famous for. However, Sculley said he regrets not later
   reaching out to Jobs to bring him back to Apple. 'I didn't do that, it
   was a terrible mistake on my part. I can't figure out why I didn't have
   the wisdom to do that. But I didn't. And as life has it, shortly after
   that, I was fired,' Sculley said.[1] favicon  follow link
