Default [CNN] Steve Jobs: CEO of the Decade
Quote:


(Fortune magazine) -- How's this for a gripping corporate story line: Youthful founder gets booted from his company in the 1980s, returns in the 1990s, and in the following decade survives two brushes with death, one securities-law scandal, an also-ran product lineup, and his own often unpleasant demeanor to become the dominant personality in four distinct industries, a billionaire many times over, and CEO of the most valuable company in Silicon Valley.

Sound too far-fetched to be true? Perhaps. Yet it happens to be the real-life story of Steve Jobs and his outsize impact on everything he touches.

The past decade in business belongs to Jobs. What makes that simple statement even more remarkable is that barely a year ago it seemed likely that any review of his accomplishments would be valedictory. But by deeds and accounts, Jobs is back.

Steve did a great job running his company from the economic stand point

But I maintain the fact that there are a lot of poor choices in the computers themselves

heads will roll in this thread

Good CEO none the less, but as far as being the best of the Decade, I'm not so certain.

Fortune? Ok.
CEO of the decade according to Adrienspawn is Steve Ballmer.
