Is Steve Jobs a Tyrant?

[xoot]

I voted yes; how about you?

Read "The Second Coming Of Steve jobs" to get a better point of view.

He's one of those paradoxical "Enlightened Despots".

No he is not a tyrant. but he is not a nice guy. But even if he is a tyrant.... Bill Gates is a bigger one.

He may be a tyrant but he doesn't seem to be ashamed of it. If it works for him and others who work for him accept it, then maybe it's a good thing.

Gates may be a tyrant in the business world but he's never been documented as being inappropriate with his staff or fellow collegues.

Jobs on the other hand is known for being sickly perverse and tyranical before leaving Apple and after his return.

It's something I certainly wouldn't enjoy working with but he must earn the respect of his employees through other means.

Why did I have to wait so long for this poll to be started?
