INCOMPETENT LEADERSHIP all protecting their fiefdoms who overtly BULLY others, and the ones who want to do well for Nike versus just themselves are quickly ostracized. Nike's leadership is coasting, just ask those who work there! It is resting on a brand that sells itself while the leadership sits fat, dumb and happy. Very few truly belong in the roles they have and if anyone points out that the emperor has no clothes they are bullied and made to look as if they are the problem...have seen it too many times.
They say they are all about equal opportunity...but "honey will you get me my coffee" and just how many minorities are in roles of leadership, or those who aren't heterosexual??? It is embarrassing how poorly this company is managed in this era.
And how about customer satisfaction? It's not about the customer, it's about who has the best idea, whether it's what the customer is asking for or not. The business is so heavily matrixed that no one is accountable, and yet they all live with their blinders on and in silos refusing to see they should all be part of the same team.
It is mind-blowing the $$$Millions$$$ this organization throws away on a rolling calendar because it didn't use data to drive its mission. Living as cost centers and requiring charge backs for service among silos has driven the wrong behaviors and if they would quit satisfying their immediate appetite for longer-term gains they would enjoy much more employee satisfaction (which by the way is no higher than 30%) and only 100 people responded due to the lack of respect in feedback that has been given over the years.
