I'm a dork and have put too much thought into this.
One, Kevin Flynn didn't create Tron; Alan Bradley did. Hence why Tron looks like Alan.
Two... sorry, OP, but you probably shouldn't aspire to be like Kevin. At least not as he was in Legacy. He did a lot of stupid stuff. As a programmer, he was brilliant. In the first movie, he did pretty great considering everything he had to process in the space of like a day/two hours (depending on how you count). But by Legacy he'd gotten booted out of power by his own admin program, was dumb enough not to build himself an escape route JUST IN CASE OF [unforeseen problem x], was doubly dumb enough to give said admin program the basic directive of "Make the perfect system" without much clarification on what that meant, and was just flat-out idiotic enough not to communicate to ABSOLUTELY ANYONE what was going on, leaving Tron, Clu, Alan, Laura, Sam (not that a ten-year-old should really have been burdened with it all), and anyone who might possibly have fixed things out of the loop. Hell, I've seen the entire plot of Legacy fixed in a hundred words along the lines of, "Alan picked up the papers he'd found in the basement. On them were written the words, 'PROPERTY OF KEVIN FLYNN. IN CASE OF EMERGENCY. If you're reading this, I'm very likely missing. Here's what you need to know: there's a world inside computers where....'".
Did he deserve to be CEO of ENCOM? Well, I dunno, we didn't see much of that time beyond, "Yep, everything went great!" But he did write those games, and he was sort of a genius programmer, so I'm gonna say yes. But within the world of TRON, programs are essentially people. They have thoughts, feelings, opinions, etc. And Flynn treated them as though they were programs from our world: simple tools. He's a technical and digital genius, but he isn't - wasn't - whatever - that stellar of a person.
