Former Apple Retail SVP John Browett says his short time at Apple taught him humility in a Retail Week Live 2013 interview.
"Apple is a truly fantastic business. The people are great. They've got great products. It's got a great culture and I loved working there, it's a fantastic business. The issue though is that I just didn't fit within the way they run the business. It was one of those shopping things where you're rejected from the organization for fit rather than competency.
The learnings there are probably actually the best thing that ever happened to me, certainly from a business perspective because what you learn from that is a degree of humility. It certainly makes you a much kinder person."
