Maybe, maybe not. I honestly don't have enough info to feel I can make an assertion either way. My gut does say, however, that many of the same traits are required of both startup CEOs and 10k employee public company CEOs. The challenges are indisputably different, but a CEO who's tenacious, intelligent, creative and driven will find ways to surmount any challenge whether it's hiring the first employee or executing a billion dollar take-over. Fair questions: would Apple be facing impending doom in 1996 if Jobs hadn't been ousted and instead been allowed to lead his company? Would that Apple be as successful today?

> Fair questions: would Apple be facing impending doom in 1996 if Jobs hadn't been ousted and instead been allowed to lead his company? Jobs didn't want to run Apple - that's why he brought in Scully. Then he got confused. It was arguably better for Apple and Jobs that they were separate while Jobs re-found his clue. > Would that Apple be as successful today? I'd argue that it would have crashed and burned if Jobs had ousted Scully and would have faded if he hadn't brought Scully in.
