Comparing Jensen to Steve Jobs Is Stupid

Comparisons between Nvidia's handling of Jensen and Apple's 1985 ouster of Steve Jobs overlook a crucial difference: Jobs' exile at NeXT Computer was a redemptive journey where he learned humility and collaboration after his poor management drove away co-founders and nearly bankrupted the company. Jobs' transformation during his NeXT years made him a fundamentally better leader by the time he returned to Apple in 1997, suggesting that personal growth through failure, rather than immediate reinstatement, was essential to his ultimate success.
