The Problem Context
Establish the negative situation the new subject is fixing by highlighting the failures of a predecessor, justifying the need for change and creating a villain for the new hero.

- 3
The Insider Credentials

- 4
The Character Proof
Shift from professional to personal merit by showcasing evidence of the subject's positive moral character through actions that benefit others, reinforcing the 'good guy' thesis.
- 5

Nike announces one of the good guys as CEO. Just a week after this Bloomberg profile piece on Nike's current CEO, the man who made Nike uncool. And, you know, coincidentally, the week after that article came out, the board and him have decided that he will retire. That's PR speak for he's gotta go. But they lucked out and they hired a fan favorite in LA Hill. Not only is he like the Texas George Clooney, but he started at Nike as an intern. He went to TCU. And if you know how politics works in this industry, he is perhaps one of the biggest reasons that TCU is relevant in the football conversation and why they have such cool uniforms for a small private Christian university in Fort Worth. But he happens to be a really charitable guy as well. A couple years ago, they donated this auction for a ton of Nike gear that he collected over the course of thirty something years. But on a simple level, Elliot is one of those guys who was just one of the good guys. I met him while working at the Nike Factory Store in 02/2008. I shook his hand, told him all my hopes and dreams. And for the next ten years or so, when I finally made it in at Nike, every time he would see me in the hallway or across the field, he would be like, hey, rank. Factory store. Like, love to see that you're doing what you're doing. And worst one of the nicest guys. That's who they need in leadership. A lot of companies do. You'd be amazed at how many just self important dickheads run around chasing job titles all day there. So I think this is a great move for Nike.
