Before naming him CEO of the Decade, perhaps Fortune magazine should have asked other successful CEOs: Could Steve Jobs run your company? The question is not meant to diminish Job's success, just put it into perspective.
Apple is a company that Steve Jobs has--twice--created in his own image. The second incarnation has been an incredible success. For that, "CEO of the Decade" might be appropriate.
However, if we measure greatness by overall ability, that is the ability to run a company as he finds it and leave it for someone else, Jobs fails. I think a survey of other CEOs would have made that point.
