The final straw was Jobs trying to oust John Scully. John Scully said me or him. Board went with Scully. The point is that a lot of his actions that directly let up to that made him a dick. In Jobs case, his destructive behaviours didn't help the bottom line.
Being a dick screws over motivation, colleague happiness/satisfaction, increases turnover, etc. These things have an economic cost. Being a dick can cost your workplace lots of money.
- robertlagrant 9y agoThis is all rather pointless when Scilly drove Apple into the ground and Jobs subsequently sent it into the stratosphere. I'm no Jobs fan at all, but that much is obvious. Look at how badly Jobs treated his subordinates and family for an actual criticism of him.
- jwdunne 9y agoNo it isn't. If Jobs wasn't a dick and alienated 90% of people with his behaviour, he would have had more sway.
