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.
Ironic that this is coming from NBC?!
Speaking of leadership, how are things at NBC?
For that matter, where is Ballmer on that list?
Ballmer isn’t on that list, because there is no category for Leader in Imitating King Kong.
Anyway, he is probably concentrating on his training for olympic chair-throwing in Beijing.
@Harvey,
Yes, Mr. B is in training, I can vouch for that.
Then again, maybe Mr. Ballmer is preoccupied with being the “before” model for an anti-perspirant company.
