Steve Jobs was hired as the CEO of Apple when the company was 20 years old. He was never CEO before that.

Yes. I've heard some say that SJ being fired allowed him to go out and learn to move from founder to CEO. Only when he came back to Apple did he finally have the skills and maturity to be CEO.
