A day after Steve Jobs announced he would take a medical leave of absence, the Apple CEO's Silicon Valley colleagues are first and foremost wishing him well. There seems to be a consensus that Jobs has disclosed what he needs to, and that in the short-term, at least, the details of his health are a private matter.But now more than ever, his colleagues also believe that Apple needs to put forth its plan for a scenario where Jobs does not return in a full-time capacity.
"Let him deal with his health on his own, it is not a business issue," says Marten Mickos, a senior vice-president at Sun Microsystems (JAVA, Fortune 500). "No matter whether CEOs are healthy or not, there is always a risk that they will suddenly become unable to do their job. What could be discussed publicly is what kind of succession plan Apple generally has. That's a worthy topic in my mind."
