I think that Phil is a badass and I really love to dive into action takers and look at the lives of successful people. In this book Phil strikes me as a human being and a guy who tries his best with what hes got. I often stumble upon people who think that you need to be an ass or a psychopath to be a great leader. I think Phil is a good example of this.
He tries to make the best out of things and take action while using peoples strengths to improve his business. The thing about this memoir, is you get it from Phil’s perspective and it can be hard to gauge how others have seen him as a leader. Although there is no denying the major success Nike has had with Phil as the leader and CEO.
I really think this book is a great motivational book for people in any business. Se the opportunity around you and go for it. This book belongs in my top five biographies of all time, I really enjoyed every last minute of the book. I give it a 5/5 score. It is a great view into a real risk takers life.
