The value comes from learning something, but historically we get trite quips and who stroking puff pieces. There's absolutely value in looking at these people/companies, but we need to contrast to less successful ones AND we need to stop acting like we have a clue why Jobs can be a jerk and succeed ("he won't let anyone interfere with his vision") but the jerk boss we had is a miserable failure ("he thinks he knows best and drives all the talented people away, of course he will fail"). Once people stop concluding easily disproven "lessons", I'll respect their efforts to search much more.
