I can’t think of anyone better suited to speak on servant leadership than the visionary who played a pivotal role in expanding one of the most iconic consumer businesses of all time: Starbucks. Howard Behar, the former President of Starbucks for over 20 years, transformed the company from a modest 20 stores to an astounding 20,000 locations worldwide. Having an in-depth conversation with one of the greatest and most accomplished leaders of our time was truly an honor.
In this episode, Howard Behar shares his profound life experiences as a servant leader, emphasizing that Starbucks is in the people business serving coffee, not the coffee business serving people. This masterclass in leadership is a must-listen, offering invaluable lessons on setting intentions, overcoming challenges, and understanding that not everything we do in life we have to get paid for.
