As sales and marketing people rise in the organization, they can edge product people out of leadership. But when expansion trumps innovation, there’s only so much time before the product stops serving customer needs. Jobs warned:
'The product genius that brought them to that monopolistic position gets rotted out by people … who have no conception of a good product vs. a bad product.'
