More quotes by Howard Schultz
Customers must recognize that you stand for something.
Howard Schultz
Sports was a great equalizer. It didn't have color. It didn't matter whether you were rich or poor, black or white. It really shaped me in many ways to be able to deal with a lot of different personalities and different cultures. Sports were the common thread.
Howard Schultz
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.
Howard Schultz
We need to put ourselves in the shoes of our customers. That is my new battle cry. Live and breathe Starbucks the way our customers do.
Howard Schultz
We can't wait for Washington. Business leaders are going to have to galvanize their own constituencies and do everything they can to demonstrate confidence in the economy, and I think that can be contagious.
Howard Schultz
To stay vigorous, a company needs to provide a stimulating and challenging environment for all these types: the dreamer, the entrepreneur, the professional manager, and the leader. If it doesn't, it risks becoming yet another mediocre corporation.
Howard Schultz
The challenge of the retail business is the human condition.
Howard Schultz
I never took classic business classes in college, so I don't have the background that any of the people running large companies have.
Howard Schultz
I think the currency of leadership is transparency. You've got to be truthful. I don't think you should be vulnerable every day, but there are moments where you've got to share your soul and conscience with people and show them who you are, and not be afraid of it.
Howard Schultz
Starbucks is rekindling America's love affair with coffee, bringing romance and fresh flavor back to the brew.
Howard Schultz
Even though people are under economic pressure, they still want to support those brands with values that are compatible with their own.
Howard Schultz
Growing up I always felt like I was living on the other side of the tracks. I knew the people on the other side had more resources, more money, happier families.
Howard Schultz
You cant build any kind of organization if youre not going to surround yourself with people who have experience and skill base beyond your own.
Howard Schultz
It's ironic that retailers and restaurants live or die on customer service, yet their employees have some of the lowest pay and worst benefits of any industry. That's one reason so many retail experiences are mediocre for the public.
Howard Schultz
The issue of managing through a crisis is you have to be decisive even if you don't have perfect information.
Howard Schultz
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
At Starbucks 0 as in any business, in any life - there are so many hectic moments during the day when we are simply trying to do the job, trying to put out the fires, trying to solve any number of small problems, that we often lose sight of what it is we're really here to do.
Howard Schultz
Passionate conviction ... sparks romances, wins battles, and drives people to pursue dreams others wouldn't dare. Belief in ourselves and in what is right catapults us over hurdles, and our lives unfold.
Howard Schultz
California, in a sense, is almost Starbucks' largest country, with almost 3,000 stores.
Howard Schultz
People in Washington need to put their feet in the shoes of working Americans.
