Who wants a dream that's near-fetched?
Howard Schultz
Image
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.

Americans reading the paper, listening to the news every single day, and all you hear is things are getting worse and worse. And that has a psychological effect on consumer confidence. That's what consumer confidence is.

The issue of managing through a crisis is you have to be decisive even if you don't have perfect information.
Howard Schultz
Image
Social and digital media is a bullet train, and that bullet train is not coming home.
Howard Schultz
Image
Hiring people is an art, not a science, and resumes can't tell you whether someone will fit into a company's culture.
Howard Schultz
Image
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
Image
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.

I think growth covers up mistakes.
Howard Schultz
Image
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.

Starbucks is rekindling America's love affair with coffee, bringing romance and fresh flavor back to the brew.
