In the high-stakes game of chicken between CEOs and states, who blinks first? | Fortune (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In 1964, when Martin Luther King Jr. had just been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, Coca-Cola took a stand that it’s still remembered for in its hometown of Atlanta. A dinner was planned to honor the civil rights leader in January 1965, but many in the city’s white business elite were initially reluctant to attend.

Geico has the kind of brand recognition most marketers spend their careers chasing.

When you believe your company may be creating a danger to society, is it your duty to stay and change it, or to leave and sound the alarm? The question sharpened last week when former Anthropic and OpenAI researcher Jacob Coxon warned that frontier labs were racing toward self-improving superintelligence and “gambling with our lives.” Coxon is the latest AI insider to walk away while raising conce
How much time should a CEO get to turn around a company? | Fortune (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Nearly two years after Elliott Hill returned to Nike as CEO, his tenure raises a question that eventually confronts almost every leader handed a struggling business. How much time should someone get to prove that a turnaround is working? Executives brought in to revive a company, division, or function often inherit problems that accumulated over years while facing pressure to show improvement within quarters. Hill inherited a Nike in 2024 struggling with weakened retailer relationships, excess i
