E146 || Kevin and Stewart || The Ten Principles at Nike

As Scott Reames, the keeper of Nike’s history for three decades, recounts, "a day in 1977 when [Rob] Strasser was purportedly in a fit of pique that employees were losing sight of the company’s values, he stormed into his office and pounded out on his typewriter what became a list of 10 bullet points that he felt were the central core of who/what Nike was. He slammed the sheet of paper on the copying machine, made dozens of duplicates and then taped them on office doors and put them on cubicle desks all over the building."

This week, Kevin and Stewart circle back to the list to discuss the ten principles at Nike, assess their corporate viability, and weave in and out of application scenarios for the construction industry.  As you listen, figure out where you can take action on one of these principles and turn the dial somewhere in your life to continue the journey of accomplishing something great.
