Mr. Jobs wins Leader in Innovation twice in four years - very nice! While I am sure he will be a dot in history, what his leadership says about we should expect from all executive leaders should become an established axiom (okay, maybe that is redundant). We have become incredibly accepting of mediocrity in our executive leadership and it must stop. Mr. Jobs should be the benchmark for all executive leaders.
