He was a dick, but he had a good mind for products. He wasn’t infallible, but he had a sense of taste that was useful in driving others who had greater skills than he.
Not an anecdote: he slashed a product line that was confusing and introduced a four quad chart: Laptop, desktop, consumer, pro. It didn’t last (see MacBook Air among MacBook and MacBook Pro), but it was obviously better. If you’re in such denial that he was a great leader during his second stint at Apple, I don’t know what to tell you.
