Howard Schultz

T3IndustriesBiographiesFounders and entrepreneurs

Led Starbucks from 1986 to 2000 and 2008 to 2017, and again as interim CEO in 2022–2023; owned the Seattle SuperSonics basketball team from 2001 to 2006.

Starbucks

Howard Schultz on Medium

Pour Your Heart Into It and From the Ground Up describe how a service format was standardised across thousands of locations while the company paid for health coverage and equity for hourly staff, and what that cost. Onward records the 2008 turnaround - closing stores, retraining baristas, cutting a growth plan the founder had approved - and is the more useful account for anyone operating under pressure.
