In the early 1980s, John Sculley left his position at PepsiCo to become the CEO of Apple after Steve Jobs convinced him to join.
Although Jobs and Sculley initially worked well together, their different approaches to business began to create problems as the company grew.
The disagreement centered on Jobs focusing on innovation while Sculley was more concerned about financial stability and practical business decisions.
Their conflict reached its peak when Sculley persuaded Apple's board to remove Jobs from his leadership role, which led to Jobs resigning from the company in 1985.
Without Jobs, Apple struggled to maintain its creative edge and faced serious financial difficulties throughout the early 1990s.
The company eventually bought Jobs' new venture called NeXT, which brought him back to Apple as an advisor before he became the CEO again in 1997.
Upon his return, Jobs transformed Apple by developing successful products like the iPod, iPhone, and iPad, turning Apple into one of the most valuable companies in the world.
