It's the leadership. It's always been the leadership. Look at recent performance and it's obvious. Absolutely poor leaders who only speak in PowerPoint prose and can't think beyond a bullet point. Leaders who go above and beyond to keep themselves... — read more
New CFO and finance changes
DD came on board 8/16 and I noticed that in addition to CFO, he also has listed Interim Corporate Controller per Nike's stock page on CNBC. Were there some org moves prior to his arrival or is he making changes from day 1?
Investor Day Canceled
How does this now get swept under the rug of incompetence?
Now this is ancient history but PK wanted to set up NIKE for for eternity
by going direct and dump all the distribution channel who were loyal to them for long time. And found best possible human being in this world to run company, JD. The guy has no soul, no imagination, no leadership, no personality and bona fide total... — read more
Nike: When “Just Do It” Became “Just Explain It”
Enron required fraud to destroy its value. Nike appears to be attempting it through PowerPoint decks, executive reshuffles, innovation theater, and a strategy called “Win Now.” And what a win it has been. Nike stock: approximately $39. Lowest level... — read more

This is no longer just a "valley", this company is in trouble
25.00 a share was far below even some of the most pessimistic analysts. This company is now in serious danger of not surviving without having to sell off multiple assets or divisions. 1) I dont see Elliot Hill surviving into 2027 2) I see a massive... — read more
Incompetent leadership doubling down on RTO by end of calendar year
Thoughts? Still a headcount reduction strategy?
NKE stock to $25 EOY
It will be $25 by end of year based on insight. Leadership wants to cancel Investor Day scheduled for Nov. Weak innovation pipeline and Win Now strategy has no substance. We are in serious trouble with EH ousted in 2027.

Expensive Monuments, Empty Suits, and the Innovation Theater Inside Nike

New hires don't stand a chance
I can't tell you how many fresh college grads I've watched join Nike and flame out within three months. They're hired to do a job that was invented by someone with years of experience, given next to no training, and then thrown into the fire with... — read more

A Sealy Knew his worth
For too long, they had layers on top of layers of reporting lines for the ‘CISO’ that made no sense. His title wasn’t even a CISO but a VP, that reports to a VP that reports to a VP. That made no sense. Now, hes the CISO of a company that will see... — read more

Nike and Silver Lake in Palo Alto. New CFO in tow. SVL just put together a very big one, Nike is next. JPM was the plunger, but it did not take, it was not incorrect, but the stock held. 28% held by insiders. 7 Billion in cash on hand. And... — read more

Brand Creative is disastrous
Overworked teams, siloed decision making, two inept VPs. When will things change? These changes post re-org have made everyone feel miserable and the work has suffered.
Talented people got cut to fund executive packages
That's our sad reality.
Is Nike still a Premium Brand?
How about a premium employer? Thoughts?
Let the baggage go
Can we get rid of fake teams and fake jobs? We failed when we started allowing leaders to hire their friends, their cousins and their sons girlfriend. Interviews are just a check the box now. They know who they are gonna hire before they even post... — read more

Innovation tu-ds
Nike Innovation has perfected a remarkable process: take an exciting idea, overcomplicate it, poorly position it, leave it half-finished, and then ceremoniously dump it on Inline’s doorstep. “Here you go, team. Innovation!” Except it isn’t... — read more
How much longer has EH got?
The company is clearly broken. Nothing is working together, and the strategy isn’t driving growth. That starts at the top. So, how much longer does EH have before being replaced?

Speak Up Was the Slogan. Silence Was the Policy
I gave Nike 25 years. In the end, I had to leave a job I loved because the systems built to protect employees chose to protect the company instead. The culture has become toxic, and Nike wants employees to just accept it as the norm.I wasn’t willing... — read more

New GT Leaders?
With DT “resigning” and RA interviewing what are we thinking for next leaders? The turnover and churn is exhausting.
No oppurtunity to question/challenge the leaders.
That's the biggest reason for Nike's failure. Only thing i hear is two way orchestrated interview.
Break up from Nike
The "go work for a coal mine" was a bad take, but I see a lot of you are unhappy with your job. My best advice is to just leave. With your experience, you can probably find something better, whether your pain point is a bad boss, low pay or bad... — read more
