And this my friends, is what happens when Nike is not run by a Shoedog but a Showdog:
Passion Vs. Getting Rich
Culture Vs. Emptiness
Playing offensively Vs. Playing Defensively
Win at Pace Vs. Stuck in the Mud
Execution Vs. Storytelling
Energy Giving Vs. Energy Taking
Honesty Vs. Meaningless Words (accountability?)
Team Vs. 3rd party consultants
Win as a team Vs. Lose as a team (except ELT)
Authenticity Vs. Inauthenticity
Which all lead to what happens next week
I don't think JD has ran a mile or picked up a basketball in his entire life. One of the most uninspiring and lackluster CEO in fortune 500 history. A masterclass on how to gut a company and ruin its culture. Nike needed a Jumpstart after MP but instead we got sand in the gastank.
The bamf has got to go
Who installed JD?
PK.
Who just overtly supported JD after throwing the entire team under the bus? (Even though we have been back in office for an entire product cycle)
PK.
The rot is deep.
Op - Bo-m mic drop!
Well said. And very accurate. JD isn’t Nike, just a POS install to collect a check.
