Summary

In 2001, with Apple struggling and its stock tanking, Steve Jobs told his board and executive team they were opening retail stores. Every person in the room thought he was crazy. In this episode of DarrenDaily On-Demand, Darren Hardy uses that lonely decision to expose what really separates a visionary founder from a great CEO. Drawing on Michael Porter, Best Buy's Hubert Joly, and Tim Cook's own definition of the role, Darren breaks down the four jobs of a CEO, strategy, leadership team, culture, and capital allocation, and reveals the one most entrepreneurs are weakest at.
