I have this book, "Steve Jobs and The Next Big Thing." It was written when Steve Jobs was running Next Computers and struggling. It was all about what a terrible manager he was, how he had bad ideas, etc. It is actually a good book and I like to keep it in mind.
We tend to hero worship really successful people we admire. The trouble is that all humans are flawed. Worse, when people get very successful they lose the people around them that can call them on their bs. I am sure I have a bunch of dumb, poorly thought out opinions in my head. If everything I thought was broadcast before someone could point out the flaws in what I was saying I would sound callous, foolish, maybe even dangerous. Some people are very accomplished but no one is smart about all things all the time.
