  But some of the greats in business have shown micromanaging can lead to great success. Take Steve Jobs, for example. The former CEO of Apple, who died in 2011 from pancreatic cancer, continues to be revered as one of the greatest leaders in business history, but he's also among some of the most famous micromanagers.

The article from AOL Finance discusses how Steve Jobs, the co-founder of Apple, influenced the Gap during his brief tenure there in the late 1980s. After leaving Apple in 1985, Jobs joined the Gap's board and attempted to apply his innovative approach to the retail industry. He proposed ideas like using technology to enhance the shopping experience, such as computer-generated store layouts and customer tracking systems. However, his ideas were not well-received by Gap's management, who were more focused on traditional retail strategies. Despite this, Jobs' time at Gap provided him with insights into retail operations, which later influenced Apple's own retail strategies when he returned to Apple. The article highlights how Jobs' vision for integrating technology with retail was ahead of its time, even if it didn't immediately succeed at Gap.
