Now, a lot of you probably know that I am an apple and Steve Jobs fanboy, but I want

to clear something up here this morning.

Steve Jobs was a genius, and he will likely be remembered as one of the greatest and most

iconic leaders in the history of business.

In the areas of innovative design, clean and uncluttered and consumer centric functionality,

Jobs was truly extraordinary.

He led a journey into computerized devices that we carry, we wear, and we find indispensable

in our lives today.

These marvelous devices have revolutionized our lives in ways we could not even possibly

imagine without Steve Jobs' imagination.

So there is a lot to admire about Steve Jobs, but, and this is what I want to make clear

here now, there is at least one aspect of Jobs that we should not admire and try to emulate.

As a boss, Jobs was an abusive, belligerent, jerk, a tyrant.

He was obsessively controlling, and given it to fits of rage, to the point of throwing

temper tantrums and yelling at employees and board members like a petulant manchild.

He could tear down somebody's ideas or the person themselves in gross public displays.

He often took credit for others' ideas and his sense of self-importance boarded line

on megalomania.

This is what I want to clear up.
