He was flaky and kind of a joke though. His entire life the only times he managed to be a decent contributor was when he was the boss of an entire company and got his way 100% of the time. Even then he was an incredibly toxic leader and was known for throwing tantrums on a regular basis.
He was incredibly talented, but he had more than his fair share of personality defects.

- phaus 8y agoIf you can't control your temper at work to the point where you become known for doing things that can be accurately described as an "outburst", you are toxic. Especially if you are in a position of leadership. You can be passionate about something without being a jerk.
