Are there any great examples of this besides Steve Jobs and Apple? Didn't seem to work too well for Yahoo.

  Howard Schultz and Michael Dell come to mind first. Larry Page is the most recent. Yahoo is a good counterpoint, though I'd suggest externalities like a lack of visionary leadership or a lack of intellectual capital, compared to their rivals, are more to blame. Edit: Schultz wasn't a founder, but I believe he was their first visionary leader.

    The Page example is far too recent to tell whether or not it will be successful.

      Agreed. Mentioned primarily so interested people know to pay attention to changes in Googles behavior as a result.
