CNN Money has a nice interview with Steve Jobs in relation to Fortune Magazine having named Apple the Most Admired Company of 2008. The fifth topic in this interview is on the question of who would take over after Steve.

Obviously we think Phil is the most likely exec to inherit the throne. He’s certainly earned it and has the most MacWorld experience. Tim Cook is a wily and talented charmer, but his wizardry lies in operations and not the public persona nor product design areas. Joswiak is nothing but a yes man, Bertrand way too crazy-eyed, Ives too private. Retail Veep Ron Johnson is actually probably the best man for the job, but it might be nice to just seem them all share power post-Jobs in acknowledgement that no one man could fill those shoes. I don’t think any outsiders would stand a chance at the top in a company like this one.
