About this episode

Most companies say they want innovation. Then they punish the team members who take big swings and miss. In this episode, Darren Hardy reveals the emotional intelligence skill that separates world-class leaders, and the 4,000% growth it can unlock.

Darren walks through lessons from the late Jack Welch, who grew GE's market value from $12 billion to $410 billion over 20 years as CEO. But Welch's legendary run almost didn't happen. This episode dives into the specifics of that story and how Welch's lesson can play out in your own business and life.
