There is also the issue of scale.  A person can be quite good at
engineering and management in the initial stages of a technology
development, but things get very much out of hand when the company is
initially successful and then grows.

That's the time to be good at evaluating people that are competent and
trusted for the job to help you out and let you focus on what your
primary intersts are.  Not always easily done.

generals provide some good examples like Jean Bernadotte, a French Army 
sergeant whose talented assistance Napoleon appreciated enough that he 
quickly rose to Marshall, and later King of Sweden where his line continues.

He can't really be blamed for Gettysburg because the time fuses in his air 
bursting shrapnel shells burned slower than their calibration, and the 
shells exploded behind instead of onto the Union artillery, hidden from view 
in the enormous smoke cloud.
