Would another Steve Jobs personality have a chance at today's corporate environment?

I have doubts: leadership is a hot iron where laissez faire approaches are favoured. The cite from Kawasaki that he was "unpleasant and always scary" would surely give a today's Steve Jobs a date with HR.

A leader like Steve would be today called "toxic" and probably never promoted at all.

There are plenty of toxic executives and managers still in abundance in the corporate world, never mind toxic CEOs.

If he was running the company, HR would just bury the issues.

Is that necessarily a bad thing? By all accounts he was a terrible person to work for and with.
