All of Apple's outward directed battles don't mean that it was immune to internal intrigue, often pitting Jobs against other Apple execs. A few of the struggles:
Jobs and Wozniak vs. Ron Wayne: As a touching, recent Mercury News profile of Ron Wayne highlights, Apple had a third founder who got the shaft. As one of Apple's original co-founders, Wayne's original ten percent stake in the company would be worth $22 billion today -- but Jobs' and Woz's styles freaked him out, and he bailed for just $800 12 days after they founded the company.
Jobs vs Sculley: Many Mac fans blame John Sculley for the company's twilight in the nineties: It was the former Pepsi exec who forced Jobs out of his own job in 1985 and who led the company's engineering department into a tailspin, whereupon he himself was replaced in 1993. But it was Jobs who had the last laugh: When he returned to Apple in the mid-nineties, he came not as the difficult manager he was known to be in the Eighties, but as a returning savior.
Jobs vs. Amelio: ...Which brings us to Gil Amelio, Apple's CEO in 1996. During his brief tenure, the company's stock plummeted, and in 1997, Jobs was able to convince the board of directors to fire Amelio and make him interim CEO. We all know how that since turned out.
