Business folks have over-simplified Jobs' contribution to everything by making it seem he single-handedly was responsible for anything.

  I absolutely agree. I'm looking forward to a lot more accounts like this one. I admire Jobs, but I admire him because he knew when to get involved and when to leave smart people alone. His ability to make decisions and ensure things got done is admirable. I've been involved with far too many business folks who you have to hand-hold through every step of a project only to have them be spineless and scared of making decisions. This account validates my assumption that a significant reason that Jobs was effective was because he could commit to a strategy. Far too many companies can't because their strategy is being dictated to by short term stock pricing.

    Too soon. He was a very flawed person, but will be missed nevertheless.

      His only flaw was cancer...

      Missed, yes, but, if there were two Steve Jobses in this world, you can be sure of two things: 1. They'd hate each other 2. The other would have laughed at that joke.
