Rhetoric,
Macro to micro is too great a swing. He should be less micro, but not like Scully. He loses himself in minutae.
The yes men are at the local level. I see no evidence that the board members are having any input at all. Good to look at, but too strong for Jobs to have 'in the house'
One attribute is micro managers is to nickel and dime. An expense of $10,000 per annum should not even come into his purview. True 10,000 of those are $100 million, however I think you undertstand. He does not prioritise and leave small low value decision to lower delegated persons. He hogs them. A recipe for overwork and underperformance. When I see those comments about 16 hour days, I smell trouble, as this is bad management.
Catherd, I like that. He drives good people away with personal insults. Only those who can stand up to it stay, or those who toadey to it. You know what I mean"toady", to do something they dislike for the money only, and their selves are out of the loop, it is not error correcting"
Vision? Yes we can all see flying cats, and orbital mice. Looking forward to the extrapolation of technologies and the envisioning of new tech is as common as dirt. You give Jobs too much credit for universal attributes.
What he has is monomania. He will pursue a bad pathway and bot see it is bad as he thinks it is good. Killing clones for example. Dumbest, no vision thing he could have done.
