"Executive Leadership Team" is such an interesting phrase. Never in several years inside Apple spanning Steve Jobs and Tim Cook heard any such condescending nonsense.

I believe it's because they truly didn't think that way.

Tim Cook has referred to the “E-Team” in many earnings calls. I am guessing that consists of the SVPs who are above the horizontal line on https://www.apple.com/leadership/

that horizontal line is hillarious. I can imagine the discussions with the designers "just put the fucking line there, I dont care how it looks, its important to separate the two sets of people"

If you delete the first one but leave the line above “Board of Directors“, would you mind it?

(Edit - I wouldn’t have minded either line, at first glance on mobile, curious if it’s an “all bad” situation for you)

that's plausible, since i never listened to earnings calls, and since external communications might take different form than internal, i bet.

ET is frequently used to describe Apple’s Executive Team.

XCOM (Executive Committee) was my least favorite at one of the soulless corps i worked at years ago.
