In this episode of DarrenDaily On-Demand, Darren Hardy exposes the most expensive theft most leaders never see on the books: stolen time. He opens with a story about a friend who walks into a high-end boutique with no one minding the store, then reveals the three conditions under which most people will quietly rationalize taking what isn't theirs. This episode dives into the real math of time theft, why remote work multiplies the temptation, and the uncomfortable pivot where the finger turns from your team back to you. Darren closes with a five-day challenge to protect your most valuable and unrecoverable asset.
