1. He has control over budgets - PMs don't.
2. He can take the company in a wacky new direction without approval - PMs can't.
3. He can create and implement new technologies on his own - PMs shouldn't.
All that being said, I'm a huge Iron Man / Tony Stark / Robert Downey Jr. fan, and I'll agree that his passion for excellence is a wonderful trait. It's when passion turns into obsession that I worry, because obsession isn't reasonable.
Ain't it great being a fanboy? Wowzers.

When I talk about obsessing, what I'm really trying to say is sticking to a single point or focus and not deviating, but executing to the best of the organizations ability. Obsessions can get dangerous, I agree - nor are they healthy.

I mean, compare him to Lex Luthor. Now there's a genius. He's got a Green and Purple suit (http://en.dcdatabaseproject.com/Lex_Luthor%27s_...) that beats IronMan's Red and Yellow suit hands down.
He also became the President.
Yeah..I'd say Luther and LexCorp is the best technology-focused founder ever. :-)

That's so true. But, I'd hire him just due to the cyclical nature of comic book stories. Since Stark started out as a hero, eventually the drinking and the lame behavior will cease and he will in fact be a hero.
Just like how Marvel realized de-masking Spider-man was a ginormous mistake and had Mephisto come in and right the whole thing. Pepper Potts will probably show-up, pat Tony on the back, tell him everything is OK and ask if she can pick-up his dry cleaning and get him an espresso.
Then all will be well again.
