Having a good presenter as CEO is great, but other attributes are more important when it comes to a successful business.
- CalmQuiet 17y agoYes, he won the 1990s war. ...and was able to retire and turn over the 2000s war to Steve B. That said, true: the CEO doesn't have to be the skilled presenter. But IMHO Jobs' central asset is his ability to judge how people are affected by design - and that applies to product design (UX, etc) and to presentation design. He understands how to use the powerful emotional/subjective components of the consumer response (usually; better than perhaps 99.5% of CEOs).
