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.

評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...

Audio 聽瞭三個月纔聽完。故事好,寫得也好。
评分很慶幸在人生的這個階段讀到這本書。Phil常常提到來自童年時期以的insecurity, 以至於一次退休瞭的Phil和妻子在街上遇到瞭比爾蓋茨和巴菲特,假裝拉傢常的時候心裏還在想著自己的身傢跟這兩位比低瞭好多倍,心裏有點被intimidated到。同樣insecure的我讀到這裏會心一笑,緊接著又是一聲嘆息:“誒原來這缺乏安全感的毛病真是要伴隨終身瞭啊!”但願我能像Phill一樣,藉著這因為缺乏安全感而永遠unsettling的心,一直追隨所謂的calling。Don't stop.
评分看巴菲特 2016 年的 Annual Letter to Berkshire Hathaway Shareholders,末尾力薦瞭這本 Shoe Dog。讀下來,創業初期欺騙日本公司的行為,麵臨各種問題時的糾結無助,甚至泡自己老婆的過程,都寫地很清楚。少見的感覺誠懇的自傳。
评分20160609-20160708。本書隻是講瞭耐剋草創時期的人和事。他害羞內嚮的性格,他無限熱愛的事業,他的誌同道閤的朋友們,他的感情史,他麵對競爭對手的害怕和絕地反擊。作者一直說他害羞,其實書中不乏笑點,想必也是一個悶騷男。
评分印象最深的還是 1971-1975的部分,一直有那麼多讓人為它的命懸一綫而屏息凝神的時刻。很多讓我想起我們當時在領導力計劃時看John Adams的感受——那些後來看起來意義重大的曆程,其實哪裏有那麼多肅穆齊整的時刻,都是踉踉蹌蹌、跌跌撞撞,在各種混亂與捉襟見肘中籌措應對(scramble),拖著腿走、滾、爬、往前行,然而就這樣堅持下來。
