That's part of the reason I put visionary in quotations. It's a slippery term. In this case, when you think Steve Jobs = visionary you don't think "he made Apple a great place to work." Since Steve Jobs seems to be one of the paragons of "visionary" leadership in the valley, all I meant to say was that Marissa is not in the same mold.

Why isn't that, in itself, "visionary"?

I would say that is a standard job description for a CEO in certain types of company, particularly most smaller growing enterprises.
