Everyone also forgets that JLG was a horrible manager and his decision to keep Macs obscenely high priced was what ultimately almost killed Mac.
And Steve Jobs as the founder of Apple had a political capital than JLG would have ever had.
While I know that the measly $250 million that Microsoft invested in Apple didn’t “save it”, only SJ could make peace with MS (only Nixon could go to China) and make the tough choices.
Founders are given a lot more leeway to make huge changes than any other manager.
