There's some good director level managers at Nike and some very very bad ones. Everyone Senior Director level and above I've interacted with has been awful.
@bv
I know that.
You know that.
I want it to be exceedingly apparent to as many people as possible that upper management at Nike is failing to do the most basic aspect of their job.
They are trash. And will continue to be so.
Leadership at Nike exists only to protect their own position or maneuver their way to the next one. Motivating or inspiring is literally not on their mind. Even if it were, they wouldn’t know how, because those qualities aren’t what got them promoted in the first place.
My leadership is either
a. In days and days of all day workshops or offsites, from which we never hear anything about other than “something like that was talked about In the leadership offsite”
b. Not at their desks, anywhere to be found in the office - nor reachable by email/slack/text message (those channels are reserved for their favorites)
c. Working from home because, pick an excuse at random or they have too much to do, they can’t be in the office.
Anyone else???
I voted positive because my manager got me pizza lol
I will be thrilled if my leaders just WFH or on PTO 5 days a week. I will be 2x productive and get home earlier to spend more time with my family.
Inspiration? Heck no, they are the exact opposite example.
you all have leadership?
Hire more VPs, Sr Dirs you know where.
The last week? No! The last year? No! They are solely focused on themselves! They are too busy attending worthless off-sites that add zero value. Can we stop calling them leaders.
