More quotes by Howard Schultz
The lifeblood of job creation in America is small business, but they can't get access to credit.
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 honestly never dreamed at the time that I would one day own the Starbucks and or be in a position where we would have more than 10,000 stores around the world. It has just been an incredible journey for all of us.
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
Any business today that embraces the status quo as an operating principle is going to be on a death march.
Howard Schultz
Most business people today are not going to invest in the uncertainty that exists in America.
Howard Schultz
Customers have different need states and life experiences.
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
Social and digital media is a bullet train, and that bullet train is not coming home.
Howard Schultz
I think Starbucks created a platform and, ultimately, a runway for many other companies to emulate. I suspect if we had not achieved what we have, there would have been many regional brands that would have succeeded. But I'm not sure there would have been a national brand of the scope of Starbucks.
Howard Schultz
Overnight the digital age had changed the course of history for our company. Everything that we thought was in our control no longer was. But within a year we had invested in social media and digital experts. Now Starbucks is the number one brand on Facebook.
Howard Schultz
When companies fail, or fail to grow, it's almost always because they don't invest in the people, the systems, and the processes they need.
Howard Schultz
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
What I would say to young entrepreneurs is there's so many moments in your life where you have these dreams, and people are trying to protect you, and they say, perhaps, friends, family, parents sometimes, they don't agree with it, they think, 'This is just too high of a hurdle.' And I don't agree with that.
Howard Schultz
Starbucks has a role and a meaningful relationship with people that is not only about the coffee.
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
Cutting prices or putting things on sale is not sustainable business strategy. The other side of it is that you can't cut enough costs to save your way to prosperity.
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
People want to be part of something larger than themselves. They want to be part of something they're really proud of, that they'll fight for, sacrifice for, that they trust.
Howard Schultz
The issue of managing through a crisis is you have to be decisive even if you don't have perfect information.
