More quotes by 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
The issue of managing through a crisis is you have to be decisive even if you don't have perfect information.
Howard Schultz
The lifeblood of job creation in America is small business, but they can't get access to credit.
Howard Schultz
My parents really wanted me to get out of New York, be exposed to other people, other ways of life.
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
Often, organizations need bold, grand gestures to galvanize people towards a new mission or refocus their attention.
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
Most business people today are not going to invest in the uncertainty that exists in America.
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
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
Who wants a dream that's near-fetched?
Howard Schultz
When we began Starbucks, what I wanted to try to do was to create a set of values, guiding principles, and culture.
Howard Schultz
Don't buy preground coffee.
Howard Schultz
California, in a sense, is almost Starbucks' largest country, with almost 3,000 stores.
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
Risk more than others think safe.
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
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
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.
Howard Schultz
