SHOE DOG: A Memoir By The Creator Of Nike

By Phil Knight

Many business books suggest that to build a successful business, you need a winning team, great leadership, a grand vision, and a robust strategy which you systematically roll out. Nike’s founder, Phil Knight, shows us otherwise. In these memoirs, he shares vivid accounts of his journey from 1962 as a fresh graduate to 1980 when Nike went public.

In this summary, you’ll learn:
• How Nike really began, how the founding team translated a Crazy Idea into a business and the range of mistakes and seemingly-insurmountable challenges that the team had to overcome;
• To know the key people who shaped Nike, and how a team of misfits survived crushing setbacks to transform an industry; and
• To never give up in your business, and to find your calling in life.

Who should read this:
• Entrepreneurs, business owners and leaders
• Nike fans, shoe dogs, and anyone who’s seeking your calling in life
