Yes, although I feel the need to point out Jobs wasn't the genius behind Apple in the early years, it was Wozniak. Different time, different man.

- Permit 13y agoYeah, if anything Steve Jobs was exactly the "business type" your parent is speaking about. “I was so close to Steve Jobs I could never really see the transition,” Wozniak said. “I just wanted to be in engineering only – I never wanted to run a company, never wanted to run things, step on other people – Steve very clearly did, and wanted to be a top executive and a really important thinker in the world.”[1] [1] http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/news/8956282/Steve-Wozniak-Steve-Jobs-deal-made-me-cry.html http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/news/8956282/Steve-Woz...
- wissler 13y agoI think Jobs is definitely a creative type, he had a clear and distinct vision that went beyond what most CEO's would ever dream of let alone approve to drive resources into. Being a creative type does not necessarily mean being an engineer.
- moomin 13y agoAbsolutely, but his vision (the Lisa) was the wrong vision at the time. He refined his vision at next (taking in a lot of other people's good ideas along the way) and returned to Apple at just the right time: when the average consumer was ready to pay a bit more for a refined product.
