You walk into a retail store, whatever it is, and if there's a sense of entertainment and excitement and electricity, you wanna be there.
Howard Schultz
Effective leaders share two intertwined attributes: an unbridled level of confidence about where their organizations are headed, and the ability to bring people along.
Howard Schultz
Social and digital media is a bullet train, and that bullet train is not coming home.
Howard Schultz
I was working probably at the age of 10, when I had my first paper route. I had every different kind of job you could possibly imagine as a young kid.

When I first discovered in the early 1980s the Italian espresso bars in my trip to Italy, the vision was to re-create that for America - a third place that had not existed before. Starbucks re-created that in America in our own image a place to go other than home or work. We also created an industry that did not exist: specialty coffee.

The future of America is not an entitlement. We have been given a treasure chest of gifts and opportunities, but some people are being left behind, and success is not sustainable unless it is shared.
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
Often, organizations need bold, grand gestures to galvanize people towards a new mission or refocus their attention.
Howard Schultz
In many places where coffee is grown, deforestation is a major issue. With Starbucks' position in the marketplace and the respect and relationships we have, we can - and have, in some cases - been able to educate and influence people.
Howard Schultz
Most business people today are not going to invest in the uncertainty that exists in America.
Howard Schultz
Who wants a dream that's near-fetched?
Howard Schultz
A great business has to have a conscience. You have to know who you are and who you are not.
Howard Schultz
Success is best when its shared
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
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. Then 40 years later if you performed the same exercise, less than 10% of the public believed it was true. The fracturing of trust is based on the fact that the consumer has been let down.
Howard Schultz
I think we are living in a time where the consumer has lots of choices, whether it's coffee, newspapers or whatever it is. And there is parity in the market place and as a result of that the consumer is beginning to make decisions, not just on what things cost and the convenience of it.
Howard Schultz
Everyone must have a shot at the American Dream.
Howard Schultz
Hiring people is an art, not a science, and resumes can't tell you whether someone will fit into a company's culture.
