Everyone knows the names Bill Gates, Warren Buffett and Steve Jobs, three of the most famous CEOs in modern history. But what's less well known is the fact that some of the greatest stock returns of all time came from companies being run by press-shy, demurring executives who were content to work away from the public eye. In William Thorndike's book "The Outsiders: Eight Unconventional CEOs and Their Radically Rational Blueprint for Success," we learn the stories of some of the greatest CEOs of all time when measured by shareholder returns. The book talks about how, with the exception of Buffett, they tended to avoid giving interviews or talking to Wall Street analysts. Shareholders came to appreciate these "outsider" CEOs based on the end result they saw in their stock price appreciation.

Walter Isaacson, author of the 2011 "Steve Jobs" biography, on Monday revealed to a greater extent the pointed criticism that Jobs had about Tim Cook, whom he handpicked as Apple CEO before his death. "In my book, Steve says how Tim Cook can do everything, and then he looked at me and said, 'Tim's not a product person.'" On "Squawk Box," Isaacson said that Jobs in interviews for the book went further than that. Isaacson's biography was published on Oct. 24, 2011 19 days after Steve Jobs died from pancreatic cancer at the age of 56. Cook and Apple were not immediately available to respond to CNBC's request for comments on the Isaacson interview.

Steve Jobs was a master at "casting spells" to keep Apple employees motivated and working long hours, said Bill Gates, the billionaire co-founder of technology giant Microsoft. "I was like a minor wizard because he would be casting spells, and I would see people mesmerized, but because I'm a minor wizard, the spells don't work on me," said Gates, the world's second-richest person. Despite that, Jobs, the former Apple CEO who died of pancreatic cancer in 2011, was an example of "don't do this at home" in his style of leadership, Gates said. Jobs was a singular case, Gates said, where Apple was on a path to die and goes on to become the most valuable company in the world. Since Jobs' passing, leadership of the company has gone to current CEO Tim Cook.
