@caseynewton @zoeschiffer So, yeah, that continues to describe someone who is untouchable, and thinks he’s the next (or better) Steve Jobs: always ready with the next vision, mercurial, quick to anger.

But SJ had one big asset going for him: *any* employee could approach him and argue for or against something. Including complaining about management, or SJ’s own decisions. You might lose your job if you couldn’t convince him, but the option was *always there*, and everyone knew it.
