Steve Jobs is CEO of the decade! -- according to Fortune Magazine, 2009
I totally agree. Together with Akio Morita (the founder of Sony), Henry Ford (founder of Ford Motor Company), Thomas Watson Sr (the 'father' of IBM), and Chester Carlson (the legendary founder of Xerox), Steve Job's work, dedication, innovation, vision, passion and ability to make great things happen is truly awesome! He's probably even CEO of the century!

CEOs that does "Business as usual" is amazingly boring. Those that does "Business Un-usual" is the one that is truly inspiring and fun. Through their continuous effort, amazing dedication and passionate work, not only they make great things happen, they also inspire the next (and next) generation to come, and change society for the better!
