Steve Jobs as a leader

I saw a commentary on another blog on this post, stating that Jobs was a horrible manager (http://gizmodo.com/5308621/harvard-business-review-says-steve-jobs-is-a-horrible-manager).
I'll disagree with that comment; I think Jobs is an outstanding manager. He's very innovative and wrings every last drop of productivity out of his workforce. However, I think he's a crappy leader. Leaders don't have the sense of entitlement described in this article, and the best ones lead by service to those who work for them. While Jobs demands productivity, I'm willing to bet that he doesn't inspire much loyalty outside of the chosen few in his inner circle. When times are good, and the money is flowing, people can put up with a lot of garbage. If times were to ever get tough for Apple, it'd be interesting to see how many folks were loyal to the organization and how many took off as soon as possible.
