While being beholden to Wall Street is a double edged sword, you need to be a special sort of person to really work without being answerable to anyone in the way Jobs and Gates did.
I think Ballmer shows that for lesser mortals, some responsibility is a good thing.
- brudgers 14y agoThe suggestion that Jobs was not answerable to Wall Street is false. Successful share price growth kept Wall Street from asking a lot of questions for a long time. Had there been less success, history might have repeated itself. Even had he lived, Wall Street would have gotten the dividends they demanded. This in no way makes his success less impressive, but it is perhaps foolish to mythologize it.
