Just some food for thought for my network. For many candidates I talk to, large companies are typically associated with the idea of job security. However, I hope everyone remembers what we’re seeing in 2023/2024, Where some of the largest companies are undergoing mass layoffs despite substantial profits. As someone who often represents start-ups, I've observed that they face the challenge of competing for talent against the allure of brand recognition and perceived job security. Interestingly though, their hiring processes are typically more strategic, and often anticipate and navigate greater levels of risk. So, next time you're weighing multiple job offers and all that's holding you back is "Job Security", maybe consider giving that startup a chance. 🤷♂️

I love to start the week with an Inspiring teamwork and resilience video ! 🌟 Have you seen Nike's "You Can't Stop Us" video? It's an incredible testament to the power of unity and determination. The seamless editing showcases how sports bring people together, no matter the obstacles. In a world where challenges can seem insurmountable, this video reminds us of the strength we gain when we work together. My personal 3 tips on team work/resilience … 1-Communication and Collaboration: Foster open and clear communication within your team. Collaboration is key to leveraging diverse perspectives and skills, leading to innovative solutions and stronger bonds among team members. 2-Adaptability and Flexibility: Embrace change and uncertainty with adaptability and flexibility. Resilient teams are able to adjust their strategies and approaches in response to challenges or unexpected circumstances. Encourage a growth mindset that views setbacks as opportunities for learning and improvement. 3-Support and Empowerment: Create a supportive environment where team members feel valued and empowered. Acknowledge individual contributions and strengths, while also fostering a sense of collective responsibility and shared goals. Encourage autonomy and initiative, allowing team members to take ownership of their tasks and contribute to the team's success. Whether on the field or in our daily lives, we're unstoppable when we support each other. Let's embrace this spirit of teamwork and resilience, turning obstacles into opportunities for growth and success. Together, #YouCantStopUs! 💪🌍 https://lnkd.in/erZKhQaS

Ironically, Nike's Olympic ad tagline sums up John Donahoe's disappointing tenure at the Swoosh. In less than 5 years, the CEO has authored two significant layoffs, gutted employee morale & spurred Nike's stock price to plummet by over 100 points from its high of 177. Donahoe’s decision to eliminate sport categories, let go of experienced employees, over-index on direct-to-consumer sales & become reliant on consultant strategies has resulted in sluggish sales & a weakened brand. Nike’s product innovation pipeline has dried up & consumers no longer view the brand as cool. Additionally, upstart competitors like On & Hoka have gained market share. Notable female athletes such as Simone Biles, Allyson Felix, Breanna Stewart & Sloane Stephens parted ways with Nike instead of renewing their contracts. In any other company or sports team, a change in leadership would have been made long ago. Donahoe has proven he can’t WIN. Phil Knight & the Nike board have become enablers & must make a CEO change before irreparable damage is done to this once-great company. Shareholders, employees, former employees & consumers deserve better. Just Do It! #nike #lackofleadership #failedceo #justdoit #heavyhittersports

Mark Hochgesang It’s a critical point you're raising. Phil Knight, being a co-founder and having a significant legacy at Nike has the potential to influence decisions at the board level profoundly. His intervention could indeed galvanize action, aligning the company's direction with long-term strategic goals rather than short-term stock performance. The potential loss of market share to competitors like On , HOKA , Salomon etc. is a tangible risk, especially if Nike's current strategies aren't resonating with consumers. While the direct impact of losing a customer might not immediately show up on a balance sheet, the cumulative effect can be substantial. Brand loyalty and customer retention are crucial for sustained success in the competitive athletic footwear and apparel market. If Phil Knight steps in, it might signal a significant shift in strategy that could address these concerns and potentially stabilize or even grow Nike's market share in the long run. #philknightnikeceo #customerloyalty #retention

Personally I think these Nike ads are trash. "Winning isn't for everyone" as it is defined in the ad is shallow and narcissistic. It feeds the dumpster fire that's become our culture. So what is winning? Lambos?, 2mm followers on Insta? $5mm NIL deals? Crushing your opponent when they are down? Winning is working 3 jobs and studying at night to pay for a college degree. Winning is getting TO Olympic trials. Winning is starting a small business and betting your life savings on it. Winning is getting up the day after you are fired and leaning into what's next. Winning is going to an AA meeting when you have hit rock bottom. Winning is taking your spouse who has cancer to treatment everyday and being the rock they need when, for better or worse, you are in the midst of worse. All of that is winning. The ad and the attitude are not helpful. Does the ad represent Cole Hocker? What about Simone Biles? How about Suni Lee? Or maybe Anita Alvarez? I've never 'won' any of the gravel bike races I have raced in. Including Unbound, a 200 mile monster, but I have PR'ed. But then again, my peers who are mid 50's couldn't conceive doing that race, let alone finish it. Did I win? Yeah. So do better Nike. The ad isn't winning.

Nike Cost Cutting: Overhauling for Growth Amid Economic Challenges In a bold move to streamline operations and refocus on core growth opportunities, Nike has announced it will lay off approximately 2% of its global workforce. This decision is part of the sportswear giant's ambitious Nike cost cutting strategy, aimed at slashing up to $2 billion in expenses. As the company faces a changing economic landscape, these layoffs will affect nearly 1,700 employees worldwide. Strategic Restructuring for Future Success The Nike cost cutting initiative is a strategic response to a variety of challenges, including a significant downturn in consumer spending on discretionary items such as high-end sneakers and athletic wear... https://lnkd.in/gfhFWiSX

It’s been a tumultuous few months for Nike: mass layoffs, shrinking revenue, see-through MLB uniforms, and a controversial track & field outfit. But the world’s biggest sneaker brand has a plan to turn it all around at the Paris Summer Olympics. While the company is still a titan, its pace has faltered in recent months. All of the giants of the athleticwear industry face supply chain issues and waning consumer demand. But the headwinds have been hitting Nike particularly hard. At the Paris Games in July, Nike is putting everything into proving that it’s still an innovator. “Winning is everything,” its internal Olympics manifesto reads. Nike will promote a new wave of shoes across sports, showcasing updated technologies that Nike’s designers have been developing, behind the scenes, for years. That will kick off what Nike calls a “super cycle” of product releases around Nike Air that will power the company’s product pipeline in the coming years.
