One of the world’s most influential business executives, Phil Knight is the founder of NIKE, Inc. He served as CEO of the company from 1964 to 2004 and continues to this day as Board Chairman. He lives in Oregon with his wife Penny.
In this candid and riveting memoir, for the first time ever, Nike founder and CEO Phil Knight shares the inside story of the company’s early days as an intrepid start-up and its evolution into one of the world’s most iconic, game-changing, and profitable brands.
In 1962, fresh out of business school, Phil Knight borrowed $50 from his father and created a company with a simple mission: import high-quality, low-cost athletic shoes from Japan. Selling the shoes from the trunk of his lime green Plymouth Valiant, Knight grossed $8,000 his first year. Today, Nike’s annual sales top $30 billion. In an age of startups, Nike is the ne plus ultra of all startups, and the swoosh has become a revolutionary, globe-spanning icon, one of the most ubiquitous and recognizable symbols in the world today.
But Knight, the man behind the swoosh, has always remained a mystery. Now, for the first time, in a memoir that is candid, humble, gutsy, and wry, he tells his story, beginning with his crossroads moment. At 24, after backpacking around the world, he decided to take the unconventional path, to start his own business—a business that would be dynamic, different.
Knight details the many risks and daunting setbacks that stood between him and his dream—along with his early triumphs. Above all, he recalls the formative relationships with his first partners and employees, a ragtag group of misfits and seekers who became a tight-knit band of brothers. Together, harnessing the transcendent power of a shared mission, and a deep belief in the spirit of sport, they built a brand that changed everything.

评分记得一开听说这本书的时候,说是一本自传,当时就觉得这是本成功创业者的励志洗脑书,就像历史总是赢家书写的一样,要是不成功哪里来自传,当时非常不愿意被灌这口鸡汤。 后来,在大家的推荐下抱着撒点毒鸡汤的心态看完了这本书,看着看着,发现并不是像当时所想的那样无趣...

评分看传记感受他人的精神面貌,弥补上班生活孤岛的状态。看完想买一双 pre montreal 跑鞋。
评分印象最深的还是 1971-1975的部分,一直有那么多让人为它的命悬一线而屏息凝神的时刻。很多让我想起我们当时在领导力计划时看John Adams的感受——那些后来看起来意义重大的历程,其实哪里有那么多肃穆齐整的时刻,都是踉踉跄跄、跌跌撞撞,在各种混乱与捉襟见肘中筹措应对(scramble),拖着腿走、滚、爬、往前行,然而就这样坚持下来。

评分20160609-20160708。本书只是讲了耐克草创时期的人和事。他害羞内向的性格,他无限热爱的事业,他的志同道合的朋友们,他的感情史,他面对竞争对手的害怕和绝地反击。作者一直说他害羞,其实书中不乏笑点,想必也是一个闷骚男。
