3. Howard Schultz’s Philosophy
Importance of imprinting experiences
Role of diversity
Starbucks as “a canvas to paint on”
Culture & values are competitive difference
Connect dots of your life: Life lessons form you
“All people want respect and dignity”
“Find a place where I can be myself”
“Reframe image of my father”
Only way to sustain growth is to share power
“People want to be part of something larger than themselves”
Hire people with like-minded values
Vulnerability is a strength but failure comes from hubris of success
Leader’s most important task: “Instill trust and hope for the future”
