Interesting Story on Steve Jobs

This article really makes him out to be a tyrant CEO with a cult-like following.
Jobs' personal abuses are also legend: He parks his Mercedes in handicapped
spaces, periodically reduces subordinates to tears, and fires employees in angry
tantrums. Yet many of his top deputies at Apple have worked with him for years,
and even some of those who have departed say that although it's often brutal and
Jobs hogs the credit, they've never done better work.

I guess you can use the words temperamental genius when you talk about him since he did turn a company on the verge of bankruptcy into one of the great consumer products companies of our age. And from reading this article he made just about every decision good or bad at the company (or at least took the credit for it.)
