Some of the people who had the biggest impact on history - Genghis Khan, Napoleon, etc., were maniacal egomaniacs. That's exactly what Steve Jobs is. I doubt many people like the guy, but what his singular vision has allowed him to accomplish is impressive. But I 100% agree that he's a horrible role model for other business leaders. The reality is though that anyone capable of being like Jobs would think he's better than Jobs anyway and wouldn't think he'd need to model himself after jobs - maniacal egomaniacs are funny like that.
