More quotes by Howard Schultz
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
I think growth covers up mistakes.
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
While we are a coffee company at heart, Starbucks provides much more than the best cup of coffee—we offer a community gathering place where people come together to connect and discover new things.
Howard Schultz
Starbucks represents something beyond a cup of coffee.
Howard Schultz
I was taken by the power that savoring a simple cup of coffee can have to connect people and create community.
Howard Schultz
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.

One of the fundamental aspects of leadership, I realized more and more, is the ability to instill confidence in others when you yourself are feeling insecure
Howard Schultz
Success is empty if you arrive at the finish line alone.
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 life, you can blame a lot of people and you can wallow in self-pity or you can pick yourself up and say listen, I have to be responsible for myself.
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
Most business people today are not going to invest in the uncertainty that exists in America.
Howard Schultz
If Vancouver did not succeed as Starbucks from '87 on, our entire international business, which is now thousands of stores and a significant amount of growth and profit, may not have existed.
Howard Schultz
Europe has always represented a major strategic opportunity to achieve our goal of creating and building an enduring global brand.
Howard Schultz
While their service is ending, our responsibility is just beginning!
Howard Schultz
Remember: You'll be left with an empty feeling if you hit the finish line alone. When you run a race as a team, though, you'll discover that much of the reward comes from hitting the tape together. You want to be surrounded not just by cheering onlookers but by a crowd of winners, celebrating as one.
Howard Schultz
We woke up one day, and all the sudden Starbucks was in the middle of this political crossfire between the people who want to bring a gun into Starbucks and the people who want to prevent it. It is a very difficult, fragile situation.
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
We think of Starbucks not as a coffee company but a media company.
