One of the richest and most influential people in the world, an American entrepreneur, the legendary hedge fund manager Julian Robertson (Julian Robertson) made a strange, at first glance, the act - with indignation, I sold all of its shares of Apple. What provoked Robertson such emotions? He read a biography of Jobs.
Yes, the same one written by Walter Isaacson. And concluded: Jobs was "really horrible" person!
"I came to the conclusion that it is unlikely such a horrible person, how, in my opinion, was Steve Jobs, could create a great company in the long term. I just do not believe that the bad guys can be corrected in the future... How can I create the excellent organization of the people, being such an unpleasant person? "
The fact that Jobs was, so to speak, demanding boss, it is no news. Everyone knew it for years. It is strange that this influenced the decision to Robertson, who, nevertheless, convinced that Jobs was "one of the great geniuses of the world."
Even stranger would become if Jobs was still alive, that Robertson would have stayed investor.
