I don't think Jobs would have been successful at any company as some people claim, nor do I believe Apple would have become what they are today without him. He was abrasive, vindictive, and his main management tool was fear. It was his failures at Apple that led to being forced out in 1985. His next company, NeXT, had some technical successes that eventually became the core of Apple's renaissance, but commercially it was a dud that could not stand on its own.
His last successes at Apple were a result of both Apple and Steve being in the right place at the right time.
