May be Steve Jobs is the guy took inputs from multiple people and made the final call and developed products which made everyone who gave inputs think that the product is because of their idea.

By all accounts that's what happened. And the best part is, Steve also thought everyone else's good ideas were his own.
A system that worked very well in that situation, but one that would be very difficult to replicate.
It's interesting how much of these personal accounts directly contradict each other. I don't think much, if any, of the contradictions are in bad faith... just an interesting window into the collective human ability to tell stories to suit our perceptions after the fact.
