Julia Stewart’s Career Full-Court Press: Snubbed for CEO, Then Bought Applebee’s

Julia Stewart’s journey isn't just inspiring—it’s cinematic. Once president of Applebee’s, she rescued the brand from the brink and doubled its stock value. But when she pitched for the CEO role? Her boss told her “No, not ever.”
