Who is your business idol?

I was thinking about this today and was ashamed to say I couldn't think of one specific person I point to. I guess I don't have anybody to start the thread with, but I will add mine soon when I think of one.

Same here. I'm an apple fanboi; but mostly I like the quality Apple uses versus MS's thrown-together shit.

My opinion isn't biased, I spent 16 years PC only and still use a PC, but prefer Mac. From my experience, the last good product MS had was Win 98SE.

Yeah, Lay should be a role model for all! lol

I'd agree with Kidd...Warren Buffet it is.

Some interesting opinions in here definitely. I respect Steve Jobs for his capabilities, but I don't think he is godly in any way. He does deserve some respect for leaving apple and failing so miserably with NEXT and then coming back to his old company, but I feel it is almost negated by the fact he left in the first place to create next.

I'm going to change mine to Jeffrey Skilling. He was one of the best CEOs.

Truett Cathy is great. I mean, who doesn't love Chick-Fil-A?

My idol is probably Steve Jobs. However, I'm not the biggest an of his controlling mannerisms.
