I'd been following Dorsey's career for a while and had read up a lot on how he founded Twitter and Square. Then I read Steve Jobs' official biography, and I started to realize how much of what Dorsey does and says is influenced by Steve Jobs. This new Bilton story is basically just the straw that broke the camel's back. If you ever have time to check out this talk he gave at Stanford, it's a great example of how he takes bits and pieces of stuff that Steve Jobs was famous for and and makes it his own: http://ecorner.stanford.edu/authorMaterialInfo.html?mid=2635 http://ecorner.stanford.edu/authorMaterialInfo.html?mid=2635 E.g. using and emphasizing the words "beautiful", "amazing", and "great" over and over again (a staple of Apple keynotes), talking about focus (like "We want to do a thousand things but we end up only doing 1 or 2 of them"), talking about "telling a story about your company", I could go on but I'll stop here.
