An interesting example that proves Steve's point id the #3 at Google, Eric Schmidt, hired by Sergey and Larry (a quote) to 'provide some adult supervsion" for the company.
Eric has been a high-level executive for at least half a dozen "brand name" companies ... most of whom have folded up. I personally wouldn't have hired Eric to mow my lawn, based on his resume' ... he seems to have the "reverse Midas touch" ... everything he touches turns to poo ... but then it wasn't up to me.
