Brooks Running Response
7yHi – thanks for taking the time to give feedback even though it is a tough read. Now in the fourth decade of my working life, I’ve come to the conviction that life is too short to spend 40+ hours a week on something that does not feed you in some fashion. I wish you well in finding a place that is in sync with your goals.
At Brooks, like every other company, our success over time will depend on our ability to satisfy customers, nurture a culture that attracts and retains great people, and deliver long-term value to our shareholders (in our case Berkshire Hathaway). From a leadership point of view, we will never be perfect against these goals every day on every team across Brooks. But in 2018, we’ve never been more successful as we are the fastest growing brand in running with results at the top of our industry.
While Brooks is winning on all fronts and attracting customers, talented employees, and shareholder support in record fashion, no company is a good fit for every person. Again, I sincerely hope your next chapter holds what you’re looking for.
Jim
