I should know. I have a gorilla boss. He's crossed so many people. The chances of a client or past worker returning with a gun is high! Violence has happened. Boss's car was smashed and he had a good beating.

The quote below (from the original link) makes me think how Apple's design team is percieved by Steve Jobs since he's so much better at giving them proper credit recently:
Second, work to become indispensable, but do it quietly and without heroics. ?Do his job for him, don?t take credit,? Weiner said. ?He will take the credit and never thank you, but he won?t see you as a threat and he will know you?re indispensable. Just keep in mind these gorilla bosses are paranoid in that they think the betas are trying to get them.?

I think Steve used to be that way but isn't any more.
We all grow up at some point, but I have to wonder, without the force of steve jobs pushing it, would Apple have even lasted beond the initail IBM/Windows push of ~1989-1992?

Its a bit like listening to psychologists talking about Bush based upon his TV appearances. What we are allowed to perceive about both Bush and Jobs is so little and its going through so many filters that you are unable to deduct anything about them as persons from their public personas.

There no doubt that leaders of companies and governments have some major pressure on them and that pressure can bring out both the best and worst of a person.
While 'pressure' to hit the numbers and/or meet the shareholders demands is a reasonable justifcation for a boss to 'over do it' once in a while but Gorilla bosses make a living out of 'over doing it'.
Im sure Jobs, Gates, and Ellison rank at the top of the foodchain among fellow Gorillas.
