I've recently finished reading Bad Blood, on the hype, personality cult and fall of Theranos. Elizabeth Holmes often imitated Steve Jobs, including his insane management style. In Theranos' case this did nothing but make the company miserable and crash the whole thing.

Sure, every wannabe wants to cargo-cult the bits of Jobs that they can because they can't replicate the genius part.

There's even an easy way to tell the difference: emulating a CEO down to the clothes they wear, while knowingly peddling a fraudulent product? Cargo cult. Working your team hard and producing multiple massively successful products? Steve Jobs.
