Hiring people is an art, not a science, and resumes can't tell you whether someone will fit into a company's culture.

More quotes by Howard Schultz
Starbucks represents something beyond a cup of coffee.
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
On balance, I am a supporter of the minimum wage going up. We've got to be very careful what we wish for because some employers - and there could be a lot of them - will be scared away from hiring new people or creating incremental hours for part-time people as a result of that wage going up.
Howard Schultz
Victory is much more meaningful when it comes not just from one person, but from the joint achievements of many.
Howard Schultz
The entrepreneurial opportunity in America is alive and well.
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
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 have a big opportunity in China. We think the number of stores here can rival the number in North America.
Howard Schultz
Everyone must have a shot at the American Dream.
Howard Schultz
Companies should not have a singular view of profitability. There needs to be a balance between commerce and social responsibility... The companies that are authentic about it will wind up as the companies that make more money.
Howard Schultz
The lifeblood of job creation in America is small business, but they can't get access to credit.
Howard Schultz
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.
Howard Schultz
Success is something that has to be earned every day.
Howard Schultz
The challenge of the retail business is the human condition.
Howard Schultz
I believe life is a series of near misses. A lot of what we ascribe to luck is not luck at all. It's seizing the day and accepting responsibility for your future. It's seeing what other people don't see And pursuing that vision.
Howard Schultz
We think of Starbucks not as a coffee company but a media company.
Howard Schultz
California, in a sense, is almost Starbucks' largest country, with almost 3,000 stores.
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
Whatever you do, don't play it safe. Don't do things the way they've always been done. Don't try to fit the system. If you do what's expected of you, you'll never accomplish more than others expect.
Howard Schultz
In the 1960s, if you were a blue collar worker or uneducated, and you had an injury on the job, the company basically dismissed you.
Howard Schultz
