For a product to succeed, you need a lot of different pieces to all go right. So even though you personally may not have full visibility on all the pieces, if you mess up the one piece you are responsible for, you may indeed mess up the whole product.

The flip side is that if they succeed, it was because of Jobs.
I really wonder what the turn over at Apple is, and if it was higher among employees that were not upper management but had to deal with Jobs.
Thankfully I am in no danger of finding out about Apples work environment first hand.
I don't understand how anybody could take this seriously. I mean, one of the hallmarks of Apple was its focus on secrecy. How could one person make a product fail when 90% of the people working on a product had no idea what they were actually working on to begin with?
