I've read two Steve Jobs biographies. Don't confuse Steve Jobs being successful because he's an asshole with Steve Jobs being successful despite being an assho

  Steve jobs success is attributed to MANY things, part of his success is attributed to his personality for which he is known to be an asshole. If you read two biographies, you'd know.

    > Being an ass hole is sometimes an effective form of leadership. This event may be a datapoint FOR keeping him as a leader. "Being an asshole doesn't make you Steve Jobs." - Steve Jobs Anyway, I'd suggest you consider what kind of leader you'd be willing to follow and then work backwards to define your concept of what good leadership may or may not be. Steve Jobs may have existed in a very special circumstance that allowed him certain, um, behavioral privileges. That does not necessarily make every aspect of his character worth modeling.

      Never said every aspect was worth modeling. I specifically used the term "effective leader." An effective leader is one who delivers results, not necessarily one that is admired. An effective leader knows when to sacrifice pawns.
