Tim Cook had one of the hardest jobs in business: follow Steve Jobs. Instead of trying to become the next Jobs, Cook played to his own strengths—and the results speak for themselves. He expanded Apple’s ecosystem, built services into a massive business, returned enormous amounts of capital to shareholders, and helped turn Apple into one of the most valuable companies in the world.

In this episode, we use Tim Cook’s legacy as a jumping-off point to talk about something investors often overlook: leadership. We look at executives like Jensen Huang, Jeff Bezos, Jamie Dimon, Reed Hastings, and Michael Dell and ask what separates great CEOs from average ones. Can they see where the market is going? Can they adapt? Can they allocate capital? And maybe most importantly, can they build a business people want to work for, buy from, and own for the long term?
