He was pushed out in in May 1985 when the company was valued at about $2.2B. He returned in 1996 when Apple was worth $3B. Today it is worth $169B. Jobs famously micromanages every product detail and like Akio makes decisions based on intuitions.</p> <p>Bill Gates was the co-founder and CEO of Microsoft, building it to an astounding $470B market cap. Under him, Microsoft had multiple acts, among them: DOS, Windows, Office, and enterprise server software. Since Steve Ballmer became CEO, the company’s value has declined to $223B. I’m sure Steve Ballmer is a smart and passionate guy, but he’s no superman.</p>”<br/><br/> - <em><a href="http://www.npost.com/2009/10/15/man-and-superman/">Man and superman | Igniting Startups - nPost</a></em>http://chuka.tumblr.com/post/214228019http://chuka.tumblr.com/post/214228019Thu, 15 Oct 2009 20:54:25 -0400“Ordinary people believe only in the possible.
