I worked at LNKD through a good part of its rampup. Jeff Weiner made Linkedin what it was. Reid Hoffman was mostly useless and came along for the ride. His "masters of scale" podcast series was a bit of a joke too, he never had anything to do with anything technical or at scale. He is just stealing credit from his betters.
Classic famous ceo Behavior, same with Jobs / Wozniak.
Every "famous leader" ; if you want to know a good company, look at ones which didn't have famous leaders or did have leaders notorious for not being famous. DEC, Sun. IBM, after all, though not as cool.
