> However, this is often happens when a charismatic leader leaves the company

This has absolutely nothing to do with a charismatic leader or founder.

Steve Jobs was notoriously the most hard-ass negotiator you'd ever meet. The way Apple is dealing with the EU here is probably exactly how he would have done it, or maybe he might have been even worse.

He created incredibly user-friendly machines, but in the business world he was incredibly ruthless.

And you can kind of see this in the their culture. Everything is, our way, or the highway. I feel bad for people that have to work in that poisonous environment.

When you come from a place of "We have all the right answers and your views don't matter" like how Steve Jobs operated, you can see the harm that mind set is causing in the world today.
