Wow, I feel stupid now. Maybe I didn't think of Apple because it was an original founder returning and fixing things?

Don't feel stupid! It doesn't happen very often, really. Certainly the examples are few and far between. Turnarounds can happen, they just usually don't.

Interesting observation. Most startups fail, and most turnaround efforts fail. Makes success something you really want to hang on to when you find it.
