> ...does he still have credibility with employees?

What the fuck does "credibility" have to do with anything? I trade my skill/labor for money...who cares who the CEO/Founder is?

> Will they follow this leader?

He isn't leading a crusade...he's just a dude that founded the company that is my current employer...big deal

> Will they consider him authentic?

Who cares if he is authentic or not? I don't pay my mortgage with my CEO's authenticity...

> He is still an example of what great leadership is all about?

Not sure, don't care...

I think you're dramatizing this whole Larry's aura thing...
