I don't understand this article. I've reread it twice, and all I can glaen from it is "sales guy CEO" doesn't know how to ask questions, or is not of the analytical mindset.

Steve Jobs was the best salesman ever... but he was clearly of the analytical mindset, and not a developer CEO. Steve Jobs knew how to ask all the right questions.

I mean, yes, I know its unfair to compare people to Steve Jobs, but what am I missing?

Jobs was analytical? Brilliant, sure. But, perhaps more instinctual than analytical. Witness the endless tales of him not asking for input, not listening, not taking the advice of (undoubtedly analytical) others. Add killer instinct & stubbornness and you have something entirely different than either of the CEO's at breakfast.
