> Judged by earnings and general business success

I chose these leaders specifically because their tenures saw their companies earn tons more money than when the founders were in charge.

For example: Jobs was visionary, but Cook's tenure has seen the launch/expansion of the Wearables segment and the Services segment. Those two are "only" a minority of Apple's revenues, but together form a business larger than Comcast or Meta or Target. Tech people won't give Cook credit for that accomplishment, but that's the point of this thread. :-)
