Your excitement about what Haieh is doing is awesome, but what does it have to do with Jobs? One of the biggest annoyances I have with the tech press is their tendency to throw Apple/Jobs into any article, no matter how unrelated. I'm gonna have to call your comment out for the same thing.
I'm excited about it too, but the men had completely different approaches for different industries and, while I'm trying to stay neutral on the issue, Hsieh has quite a ways to go before he's anywhere near as revolutionary as Jobs. Comparing the two is an unnecessary distraction which doesn't really serve any purpose.
- arkitaip 15y agoBoth are massively successful business leaders in IT both with different interpersonal approaches. I think comparing their managerial styles is interesting important, especially if startup try to emulate them.
- philwelch 15y agoJobs was a consumer electronics tycoon with an obsession for design and product; Hsieh is a touchy-feely retail tycoon with an obsession for customer service and company culture. They're about as different as two founders can get.
