If you put on a lousy production with white actors, it's lousy. There is a problem, or can be, at this stage of our social evolution, with mixing the casts. It may not be a question of race so much as class. You would rarely find a black man in a high executive position where he was swinging his weight around.

In the 1960s, if you introduced a new product to America, 90% of the people who viewed it for the first time believed in the corporate promise.

Everyone starts strong. Success comes to those with unwavering commitment to be at the end.
Howard Schultz
Image
Even though people are under economic pressure, they still want to support those brands with values that are compatible with their own.
Howard Schultz
Image
The growth of the company and the license that Starbucks has is to participate in other food and beverage opportunities. We have a global business... and in many parts of the world, tea is much, much bigger than coffee, and we're going to bring tea and bring our capability and our understanding of what we've done for coffee to tea.

Risk more than others think safe.
Howard Schultz
Image
My biggest concern is that America is drifting towards mediocrity and that people don't recognize - and by people I'm meaning Washington - don't recognize the sense of urgency and the fact that I don't think this is a crisis anymore. I think it's an emergency.
Howard Schultz
Image
People around the world, they want the authentic Starbucks experience.
