I don't disagree with your assessment but, right or wrong, Steve Jobs was on another level.

Most great leaders have character flaws. Some of them are very obnoxious petty people. See Nick Saban or Michael Jordan.

Steve Jobs pushed people to achieve extraordinary things. My guess is they would not have achieved many of those things without his influence and authority. That's what great leaders do.

But it's true. If you are a selfish narcissistic jerk people remember that too. Maybe more than what you accomplished.
