Steve Ballmer was one of those. What others have written: In 2007 Ballmer said “There’s no chance that the iPhone is going to get any significant market share. No chance.” In a May 2012 column in Forbes magazine, Adam Hartung described Ballmer as “the worst CEO of a large publicly traded American company”, saying he had “steered Microsoft out of some of the fastest growing and most lucrative tech markets (mobile music, handsets and tablets)”. Some companies like Microsoft have a CEO that causes the company to flounder. Apple seems to be doing fine with or without Jobs.
