A Powerful Internal Memo From Nike in 1977

In 1977, Nike released an internal memo to its employees stating 10 simple but powerful company principles.

1 – Our business is change.

2 – We’re on offense. All the time.

3 – Perfect results count — not a perfect process.
Break the rules: fight the law.

4 – This is as much about battle as about business.

5 – Assume nothing.
Make sure people keep their promises.
Push yourselves push others.
Stretch the possible.

6 – Live off the land.

7 – Your job isn’t done until the job is done.

8 – Dangers:
Bureaucracy,
Personal ambition,
Energy takers vs. energy givers,
Knowing our weaknesses,
Don’t get too many things on the platter

9 – It won’t be pretty.

10 – If we do the right things we’ll make money damn near automatic.

On the heels of this memo, Nike grew to become a dominant global brand.
