Now my question is are these corporate and technological geniuses over idolized? Or are people not looking past the face of these companies?
My answer to this question is... YES! They are over-idolized. I think that even technological "geniuses" are people, too. Sometimes they're a little over the top in their actions and attitude. Should we idolize them? Well, should we idolize anyone? I do think that it's important to have role models, but putting people on a pedestal means that it will lead to some kind of disappointment, and I don't mean to be cynical, but look at Steve Jobs now and his place in Apple. When Steve Jobs leaves Apple (and that seems to be in the near future), the company will suffer unless they can find another person like him, not just because of his genius, but because of his ties to the company and his image within Apple.
What other companies might have this problem? How many other CEO's do you know the name of?
