## Resource

Satya Nadella walked into Microsoft in 2014 when the company was a slow-moving dinosaur. He stopped reacting and started acting. Cloud-first, AI before anyone cared, open source. Microsoft's stock climbed over 1,000%. In this episode of DarrenDaily On-Demand, Darren Hardy uses that turnaround to make a harder point: most leaders are stuck managing the present while someone else is creating tomorrow's advantage. Darren introduces the pace setter framework and the three rules top performers follow to protect time for what actually moves the needle. Get more personal mentoring from Darren each day.
