I look at it differently.

In business, you have entrepreneurs, those who start great businesses with great energy and ideas.

Then you have guys who can take it to the next level, get the IPO and Wall Street financing, and

Then you have the bureaucratic types to deal with Wall Street, no one manager type is the same.

It's a different world, probably needing a different mentality than Joseph possessed. He may not have been able to do what needs to be done. So in reality, it's an unfair question, romantic as it might be.
