I doubt their attitudes would be compatible at all, I'd be more impressed with the person that could get the two of them to work together at all! They have drastically different philosophies; in that light I think Apples management actually deserves a fair nod to it's own success as after Jobs was initially booted (I believe it was some ugly personnel management issues that was the root cause) Apple wasn't really progressing or doing anything daring for a number of years and Jobs birthed Pixar and was doing quiet well creativly and financially aside from that; Apple I bet made the call to Job's that went something like 'I know we've had our differences and you can't but agree that it was partially your fault but can we work something out to put you back to work doing what you do best to make us better' type of dialog.
By that point he'd obviously learned to adapt well enough to personnel management to have brought a company like Pixar from concept to reality, which is what he was lacking at Apple before.
Just my speculation haven't gone into this in depth but I skim articles well.
