Apple Store pioneer Ron Johnson on the iPhone Duo, working with Steve Jobs, and leading with kindness
Apple's former retail chief Ron Johnson tells Business Insider's Ana Altchek about working with Steve Jobs and bringing Apple Stores to life.
Ron Johnson joined Apple in 2000 to develop the company's physical stores. At the time, conventional wisdom predicted online shopping would replace in-person stores, making the venture a risky bet. Johnson's experience at Apple is detailed in his new book, "Shop Different".
Johnson worked closely with Steve Jobs during his tenure at Apple. In a live Q&A with Business Insider, Johnson discussed his time at Apple and his approach to leadership, which he describes as leading with kindness.
