What this article should have said is that there needs to be a better way to connect creative non-technical visionaries (whose primary skillsets are having an empathic understanding of the customer, product design, and an ability to build passionate followings/movements behind those products) with engineers from the start, rather than having startups/accelerators treat them like an afterthought (ie, post Series A, let's hire a marketing intern to do some A/B testing).
What Jobs proves is not that people like him should always run things, it's that they need to have a better seat at the startup/accelerator table than they currently do. Identifying them and plugging them in earlier in the process would help the startup scene as a whole.
I think a team like that would be fine today. Marketing genius/perfectionist and engineering genius.
1) Ask them what they've done before.
2) Test them. Ask them what they specifically would do for you/your product now. Taken a step further if you have the resources: narrow down a few candidates, pay each a nominal fee to write a marketing plan, upon which you base your final decision.
