You can say what you want but he was a visionary. Anytime Jobs left Apple, even for break, there was a huge drop is stockholder share price...he was Apple. When you have an idea for a product as great as the iPod, andnthen communicate that idea to your subordinates to all work to create something great, a strong, intelligent and charismatic leader is still necessary to take in all the ideas his employees are givingnhim, weed out the best ones, and still improve on it with his vision. He made great strides in the world of technology.
