Description

Today’s guest is Bob Greifeld, the former CEO of NASDAQ. These days, the NASDAQ is a powerhouse market. But that was not the case when Bob took over. It was small and struggling. During his time in charge, he grew the market by a whopping 2000%, attracting companies like Apple, Microsoft, Starbucks, and Amazon. 
In this conversation, we go behind the scenes of that amazing turnaround. You can see for yourself how Bob’s relentless focus and drive helped make it happen.
If you’ve ever looked at a big project or even just your day’s to-do list and felt overwhelmed, this conversation is going to help you tap into that power of focus, too. 
You’ll also learn:

What you absolutely have to do in your first 100 days in a new job

A specific formula to balance promoting from within versus hiring from outside

How to sift through your to-do list to determine what you should actually work on

What you’re really trusting when you go with your gut
