In the ten years I worked at Pixar I had the pleasure of seeing or hearing a couple of Jobs famous tantrums first hand. At least in Pixar's case, they always seemed childish and destructive to me.

Meanwhile, Ed Catmull, the CEO, commanded the instant respect of absolutely everybody in the company despite being unfailingly polite and soft spoken because we all had such enormous regard for his intellect and maturity.

Well, this proves that you can be childish and destructive and still accomplish amazing things, right? So.. er.. yay?

(And yes, Ed Catmull is awesome.)

What I saw from Jobs at Pixar seemed largely counterproductive. Maybe it worked better at Apple?
