STEVE JOBS GOES BACK TO APPLE by Walter Isaacson

“We'd just taken Pixar public, and I was happy being CEO there. I never knew of anyone who served as CEO of two public companies, even temporarily, and I wasn't even sure it was legal. . . .

I talked to people I respected. I finally called Andy Grove at about eight one Saturday morning—too early. I gave him the pros and cons and in the middle he stopped me and said, ‘Steve, I don't give a shit about Apple.’ I was stunned. It was then that I realized I do give a shit about Apple—I started it and it is a good thing to have in the world. That was when I decided to go back on a temporary basis to help them hire a CEO.”
