How does the leader of the world’s largest sports company navigate corporate life during an unprecedented year — while juggling being a father, husband, grandfather and friend? By practicing a skill not usually taught in business school: asking for support. Nike president and CEO John Donahoe has spent the past three decades sharpening this ability, realizing that it’s a strength — not a weakness — to lean on others in times of mental and emotional stress. In this episode, the four-time CEO shares his journey with therapy, his core purpose at home and in the C-suite, and his prime role models (starting with his wife). He also explains how meditation has changed his life and how he uses gratitude in his own routine. Whether you’re leading a team or just joining one, we can all learn something from Donahoe’s mindful approach to challenge.
