In 1988, he walked into Nike as an intern. Today? He’s the CEO.
Elliott Hill was promoted 14 times at Nike over 36 years.
He stayed the course.
Here are 3 lessons from his journey!
1. Dream big but start small.
Every CEO was once a beginner. Elliott’s career started with the humility to learn (even menial work). Your starting point doesn't define your endpoint.
2. Stay the course, even when it’s long.
He embraced change and earned trust at every level.It’s not always about speed; it’s about consistent growth (remember the tortoise and hare fable).
3. Leadership is about influence, not titles.
Elliott didn’t simply climb the corporate ladder.He built relationships, influenced strategy, and championed the brand’s vision at every turn.Leadership doesn’t wait for a title; it’s displayed in every role you take.
From intern to CEO, Elliott Hill’s journey shows us what’s possible.
