Shockingly, it's almost like a slogan on a book cover isn't enough.

If he wasn’t an asshole he might have spent time with his daughter and maybe not came back to Apple at all when it was failing.
There is no reason to think fundamentally altering his personality and therefore the entire way he interacted with and ultimately selected leadership underneath him would not drastically change the outcome.
There is no reason to think apple would be better if it was effectively run by entirely different leadership.
Could this be measured?
